I was driving back from class today and i started smelling what seemed like a campfire. except the smoke stayed with me for about two minutes. I pulled over to a side road and as i came to a stop, smoke started to come inside through the air vents. I opened my hood and smoke was pouring out so i kinda freaked out cause my car is my baby.
Luckily I had a fire extinguisher in my car so I sprayed the bottom of the manifold (that's where it looked like the fire was coming from). I got the fire out and eventually got it towed to my indy shop where they're hopefully gonna tell me what happened.
apparently early 2000 vw's are being recalled for heat shield issues. If thats what started the fire, then volkswagen will pay to repair it for free.
