Sunday Times have been running a campaign for them to own up to the problem - every week several people have reported the fault and BMW have been denying up until now

i turned the corrado on once and all this petrol was pouring out the back, i phoned a garage who towed it away and couldn't find a problem and told me it was fine.

It leaked again so i got my spanners out and fixed it myself, didn't need to go crying to Volkswagen about it.

I instantly disregard anything from the Daily Fail. So it could be true but I'm not believing it.
