Literally just a minute down the road from the new Audi dealership in Swindon!

Nice, 63 plate as well! Sympathies to the owner, would hate to see my car go up in flames!

Electrical fault eh , the poor quality of a so called premium brand never ceases to amaze .

Looks like an A1.

An RS 3 went up in flames once as well iirc
My RS 3 had a fuel leak from the high pressure fuel pump last year, it was running down to just above the turbo heat shield hate to think what could've happened

Some TTRS owners have reported the same leak.

It is indeed an A1. According to the registration it's an "Audi A1 Sportback 1.4 TFSI"

Had my S3 in early April for exactly the same issue, with the amount of fuel residue I had on the side of the engine by the turbo, shocked nothing happened!

Or you could argue that its as good at not catching fire as a Ferrari 458

It didn't put me off driving one

Ouch. Feel for the owner as must be sad to just watch that.

Would make an original entry for the 'time to show off your car' thread.....
