I've owned more vw's than I want to admit, never had a fire. The aircooled ones I have seen go up a few times, but the watercooled ones not so much, its not like tehy are a british car :-\ Vw's are electrical issue prone, but bmw's and mercedes I would not agree, and I was a mercedes tech, one of the reasons I don't know much about automotive electrical stems from the fact as my time as a mechanic I was never really needed to learn because the MB's I was working on just didn't have issues beyond dead senders and bulbs.

Fysh, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it doesn't happen (it does) I'm saying its not the frequency that everyone assumes. Also, we do get wrecked totaled cars all the time, that's not a varible. The vw's really are getting better than they used to be. Vw has realized they need to step up their game to compete with the likes of toyota.

Gee that's funny, I've worked at a vw/audi/porsche dealer for the last 7 years, and have never seen a vw with fire damage. Hmm. I must be blind.

Except for the ECUs har har har

No weight. What weight there is is directly above the driven wheels.

No, that was a Delphi body control module, and it just smoked its guts. I laid the extinguisher to it just in case.  :-X

I thought you said the VWs ECUs commonly fried themselves when reflashing?

Yeah by fried I didn't mean literally. Motronics don't like firmware reflashes. I thought you were refering to the repo car.

Just watched the vid.  Holy fuck the goddamn trunk hits the pavement on each fucking shift.  That ass dropped like 2 foot.

Sounds evil as fuck though.

The repo car != VW.

And, I have an answer for firmware reflashes:


Snap-crap battery charger, has a reflash setting where it smoothly regulates system voltage between 13.4-14.8 volts





When the flash goes bad, I am fully equipped to yank and burn/replace the SMD flash memory the Motronic (and others) use.

bmws still suck, but the spec e30 series looks like cheap fun.  went to go look at a stripped, running 318 earlier this year, only to realise that this is the last year they have 318s in the series so i didn't get it

when i was a mechanic i remember a lead tech pulling in a 01 s4 audi that he had to jump out of because the electrical smoke. then on my way back from Sacramento i saw a 98 golf on fire on the side of the freeway... also about 2 months ago a 03 bug was on a tow truck and was just put out after a horable fire. ive seen more these are just the most memorable. not including the 60's bug i had to completely re wire, ya theirs not much to wire  but its a bitch to re route... and just most of the vw guys around here are dushes, not as bad as the drifters, but stretched tires and wheels that stick out 4" or so, wtf that shit pisses me off.
