Has anyone experienced a leaking diesel fuel tank on the RRS. I've just had to pay £1200 to have one replaced because a mouse supposedly chewed through it. I was told that this was a possible cause before I even took the car in to have it replaced - jst seems a bit strange?!?

sounds like BS to me - dealer or other ?


Mouse

Yeh - Ive heard about those bionic mice. Real pests!  FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

It is a known problem on D3s.

Rodents seem to find the integral angled plastic pipe on top of the tank attractive and chew through it. Some owners have managed to repair the tank. This picture is on DISCO3.CO.UK

Did the mouse eat from the top, or start from the bottom.
Only because if it started from the bottom it must have been a RAT
unless the mouse was on a box.
