Well guys after a lot of money/time my accident today just threw me under a bus. ( Not seriously)

I finnally got my turbo check by a professional to make sure everything was working fine and what not. The only thing he did was switch the FMU hoses around as he said they were backwards..

I was really happy to finally drive my car after ton of money and new paint job new body ,and new interior.. As i was pulling in to the gas station out of no where my hood just caught on fire...
I ran out trying to open the hood ( bad move i was panicking ) the flames just dispersed and hit me.. It wasnt too bad but within 5 minutes we put out the fire using a extinguisher from the gas station. Of course fire fighters came and they were opening the hood with the crow bar!!! and bent my hood and front bumper to no end... I was furious they couldnt just have pulled the knob???

After the fire they decided to tow the car. I havent seen the engine bay but the fire fighter told me it seemed as if though the hose on the FMU was not tightened and came loose.

So offically i have no idea what to do.. I really hope my motor is good. The worst part is that i had only single coverage insurance because i didnt drive the car at all for a while so i didnt need full coverage.. But things changed so fast i have no idea if i want to continue with the car any more... Maybe this is just a phase ,but i just cant believe it.

 

your first mistake was to go with an fmu

 

sorry to hear what happened to your car.
When I first begin reading I thought it was an actual accident (you got hit) then when I got to "fire", FMU pop right up in my head...

Hope there aren't any major damages.

 

if the "professional" changed the hoses, and you paid him........

 

....so your car was on fire and you pulled into a gas station?

 

lmfao.

 

That's awful. Feel for you bro.

 

Sucks man. Why did the firefighters open the hood with a crowbar when you already had the hood open?

 

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe he closed the hood again after using the fire extinguisher.
That sucks, man. I wish you luck with your S.

 

Who's the professional turbo checker? If you said that he advised you to switch the FMU lines...was the car running prior to this?
