Engine & coolingFire

I was driving along in my recently purchased porsche 944, and suddenly the car lost all power and the engine compartment burst into flames without any warning. Needless to say, the entire underhood area is a complete loss. There were no leaks, and the wiring did not have any visible problems. Until you experience something like this, you do not realize just how terrifying it is. *Tr
