In actuality ALL cars (makes and models) are at risk of interior or
engine fires. 
If you ever get to see a junkyard, or worse a auto auction or haulers
lot,  then you'll know that all kinds of cars burn.. And many w/o
provocation.

We're just 'in tune' to our VW community. 

Now go out and CHANGE YOUR FUEL LINES, inspect any and all wires and
hoses for chaffing. And clean your electrical connections, including
battery to starter.

Got a note yeaterday from a friend in Kennsington, Ca (next to Berkley)
and
his neighbor across the street had his 2003 Eurovan MV go up in flames
while
parked (but just after being driven).  Fire started in the forward part
of
the engine compartment.  The VW bus fire engine fire gremlin is now
haunting
the T4's as well?
