So.
I take it to the fiat dealership I got the car at they didnt know whats going on, bitched enough to get a discount on service at a VW dealership not to far away. Sat at that dealership for two hours and they tell me its the line for the high pressure fuel pump? So I payed for the diagnostic and for them to order the part. They tell me the part will be in Monday so I take the car back home because I need the car this weekend. I have not smelt any gas! So now I got to figure out what to do.
thats the line i was talking about. sorry i was unable to take pics for you. been under the weather the last few days.

Looks like a hose is missing, nipple coming off the intake manifold in the center of the first pic. Someone more familiar with TSI motor will have to confirm though.
that's just a clip for the engine cover.

So its very possible that it was just loose and they are trying to sell me a part I dont need. That's why they were pushing so hard for me to leave the car at the dealership.

can you still upload a picture for me?

Random bump, but I was having this fuel smell issue and I found the solution. Wanted to share for someones future troubkeshooting benefit. The brass pressure release valve (with the black hand twist cap) on the HPFP was loose. I could hear it hissing when the car was off. Gave it a quick crank with a 13mm and its back to normal.

For context, the fuel smell was so strong I could smell it in my house. I thought I was about to blow up.

Here we go...:paddle:

The endless debate over whether there can only be two types of Transmissions...or can there be a third type and so on. It's like saying you have to put electric cars into a Gas or Diesel engine classification. May open minds prevail.
