Outstanding Campaigns:
Q261 - ECO START STOP SYSTEM INOPERATIVE & VEHICLE SOFTWARE UPDATES
P033 - SPILL RAIL
Going in on 14th for 1st service so expect it to be sorted then.
Will get on the phone now
Some text for people wandering what its about:
Concern : FIRE MAY OCCUR
Description : It is possible that a leak can occur between the injector spill rail connection and the plastic fuel return pipe. This can cause leakage of fuel, which can either pool on the engine cylinder head and then become deposited onto the road surface where it could cause a skid risk to other motorist or if the fuel comes into contact with extremely hot engine components, an exhaust manifold for instance, it is possible that an under bonnet fire could ensue.
Remedial Action : Recall all affected vehicles, inspect the fuel spill rail/return pipe and if required replace the spill rail with a new modified rail.
Vehicle Id : SALVA1BC6CH639806 to SALVA2CE3DH816769
SALFA2CC5CH283941 to SALFA2DC5DH366379
Ok, booked in for next Tuesday - apparently only 4% of the 'affected range' will need the modified rail fitted. I don't know the circumstances which would cause it to fail though.

So, it's up to our wonderful dealer service departments to inspect and decide if they need replacement - gulp !

From the Aus Recall notification site the way I read the details of the fault, it was assembly that could cause the issue, and then the connector to the spill rail would leak as the connector got damaged on assembly. So most will likely it'll just be checked and if it's not leaking nothing would be done, if it was damaged on assembly it would be seen to be leaking and it'll be replaced, if it's not been damaged it won't just start leaking.

does anyone with an auto have the following one or know why it would be showing up against an auto Evoque:
Q261 - ECO START STOP SYSTEM INOPERATIVE & VEHICLE SOFTWARE UPDATES
RE: Evoque 2.2 recall confirmed in Uk - XFullFatTim - 06-09-2013 09:09pm
Yes, because the stop/start patch also has a Battery Monitoring System upgrade for the auto in the same update

This video
Where do I start
- he's washing around the front end with smoke from burning oil & plastic & he doesn't smell it!
- he opens the bonnet up, letting air feed the fire! (For the record, just release the catch & spray water though the gap).
- he very slowly removes his coat & bag from the car, opening & closeting the doors letting smoke fill the cabin!
- 3 minutes before he try's using a fire extinguisher!
At last after 5mins someone else has worked out that the fire is going on in a WASH BAY & uses the hose laying on the floor to cool down the engine, extinguishing the fire.
This car could have been saved. RIP now.....

I just cannot believe what I watched ... he has a high-pressure water hose in his hand and he just doesn't use it. But eventually goes off to get a totally useless CO2 ext.
At the moment I never put my car straight into the under-house garage - it sits on the drive for an hour at least, until it's cooled down and had the chance that if the issue is present, it will burn on the drive not under the house. I have heat detectors in the garage but I don't want to have to destroy everything else that's in there and risk the house too.
Shouldn't have to worry about this sort of thing in an only just sub-£50k car.

My Evoque is on the recall list, I called my dealer to ask about it on Saturday morning, and was told the service department would ring me back ASAP,needless to say they didn't bother, so Monday I rang again and was told that they would ring me back, guess what...they didn't bother, after another phone call I did get a call from them, the service department,didn't appear to know much about either recall, however they said that to check the spill rail and do the Eco stop start would take about one hour, which appears quite quick compared to others on here. It's nice to see that customer service is still poor.
