## Discrepancy

DURING GROUND HANDLING OPERATIONS, WAS REPORTED THAT THERE WAS AN APU TAIL PIPE FIRE AFTER SHUTDOWN.  T-HANDLE WAS PULLED, BOTTLE WAS NOT BLOWN.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE APU AND TAILPIPE.  REMOVED AND REPLACED THE APU FUEL FLOW DIVIDER AND THE APU FUEL CONTROL IAW AIRBUS 320 MM 49-32-11 & 12.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD.  VENDOR TEAR DOWN REPORT DID NOT CONFIRM FAILURE.  UNIT WAS FOUND TO HAVE HAD A PACKING SMASHED OUT AND WEDGED BETWEEN ROTOR AND OIL SEAL, BUT CUSTOMER CONFIRMED REMOVAL REASON WAS MARKED NO.  UNIT WAS REPAIRED AND RECERTIFIED IAW CMM 49-30-97 REV. 07.
