kidd07 It is quite possible that the fire burned the wire triggering the light. Lets wait and see.
As you have mentioned it, you might as well read this thread.

Just one question this time:
Do you think the brakes might have been hot?

tomashek

This is absolutely unreal!! I have turbo too, and am pretty concerned now. Even more after someone had mentioned that it happend to A4, which uses same engine...
Please keep us posted.

Glad that everyone is safe and sound.
What was your milage on it?

kidd07

mileage was roughly about 7200 miles..

kidd07

hmm i really dont know if the brakes were hot or not, i dont abuse the car, im just barely breakin it in with the 7200 that i have in it, so I would have to say no.

I think a complete investigation is in order before anybody can speculate.

Cars have caught on fire before by random events, although it's very, very rare.

Glad everybody is ok and I'm sure you'll get a replacement car.

People need to wait before they start making accusations against anybody or anything.

You wouldn't want to be blamed for anything you didn't do, so I'd err on the side of caution.

tomashek

Have you done any mods on it?

I really wouldn't worry, there are so many 2.0T's on the road between VW and Audi that if this were a common problem there would be a recall since it is a safety issue. Not to mention you would be seeing lots of posts on this forum...I would just enjoy your car and see what they trace it to.

I'd have had it towed and dropped right infront of audi's service door waiting for them to show up. Safe to say this car is a lemon.
