I have an A5 2010 2.0
I've been noticing a strong smell of fuel after I've parked my car and exit. It's noticeable from outside the car. Not so much inside.
I mentioned it when I recently took my car in for servicing several unrelated items including getting an oil change.
The service guy told me that when he did the oil change he concluded that the fuel smell was caused by a faulty high pressure fuel pump. And that it needs to be replaced.
Is this plausible? I'm not sure how the high pressure fuel pump diagnosis can be made by observing something when doing an oil change. If someone could clarify that for me it would be appreciated. I just want to make sure before agreeing to perform the repair.
Thanks
