I bought a S3 and got some bits put it (fmic, 3inch turbo back exhaust, intake)
Also gave it a full service and cambelt and water pump. The car come out the garage today so i take it for a drive. Everything seems fine. So i put my foot down for a few mins in the lanes and notice smoke coming out the engine bay so i pull up into esso and open the bonnet and see the top of the engine where the charge pipe,heat sheild is on fire and the manifold is glowing red. Had some water and put it out just in time. Does anyone know if the heat shield can catch fire as thats the only thing near the manifold that i can see. I dont wana be catching fire everytime i drive the car
Has anyone had the same problem.
Ive booked the car for a map at Rtech on the 4th. Need to do something about it.
Thanks
