have just had a very very lucky escape
whilst filling up at a local petrol station , with my young daughter strapped in the car (engine off with keys removed from ignition)
noticed a small puff of smoke from under bonnet , this very quickly became a lot of smoke
i threw the petrol pump down and pulled my daughter to safety
then popped the bonnet armed with an extinguisher
after letting the smoke clear ive found that one of the coil packs has decided to burn spontaneously combust
after doing a little research it appears as though these are sometimes being replaced for free by audi dealers
COULD THIS BE THE REASON WHY ???? ****** OFF IS A MAJOR UNDERSTATEMENT
just a precautionary tale guys and gals if your still on your original coil packs go and get them replaced
a.s.a.p
both my daughter and the car are fine , but this is purely luck and could have so easilly been a very very differant story
pictures and video of the incident to follow shortly
