TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 AUDI ALLROAD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE AT A STANDSTILL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE TIMING CHAIN TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110,000.

A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND "DTC" LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH WHILE DRIVING, BUT THE CAR HAD NO SYMPTOMS OF FAULT OTHERWISE. DURING ONE FOLLOWING DAY, I WAS IN THE GARAGE WHERE THE CAR WAS PARKED, WAS NOT RUNNING AND UNLOCKED WITH KEYS INSIDE, AND SMELLED AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. I OPENED THE HOOD AND FOUND A SOFTBALL SIZED FIRE BURNING FROM AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR COMING FROM THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE. AFTER PUTTING THE FIRE OUT, I FOUND A BLOWN 'ENGINE MANAGEMENT' FUSE WHICH MAY BE ORIGINALLY TRIGGERED THE DASHBOARD FAULTS. I COULD NOT DISCONNECT THE CONNECTOR BECAUSE IT HAS MELTED TOGETHER, BUT AM HOPING THE BLOWN FUSE WAS FOR THAT CIRCUIT SO NO ELECTRICITY IS FLOWING THROUGH.

AFFECTED VEHICLE WILL LIKELY HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SYMPTOM. THIS IS WHAT CAUGHT MY ATT
