Engine fire?
i'm usually roaming around the B5 forum but for the past few days ive been traveling around eastern europe with some friends in a diesel 2007 A4 that sounds like a tractor. we drove from bucharest, romania to budapest, hungary and once we got there i popped the hood to take a look around and found this:
i couldn't take off the engine cover but what the hell could've happened here?
its not my car, just wondering.. my friends have to drive it back now

definitely not a good thing.
not familiar with the TDI engine so I'm not sure what might be under that part of the cover. You will have to get it off and have a look. May be something minor that just caused a build up of heat under the cover right there, OR it could be something major. can't tell without looking.

Doesn't look like a fire to me. It looks like some part blew through the cover. It was a hot part also because of the slight melting. If it were a fire the whole engine would have gone up. I wouldn't drive it any more until you pull the cover and see where the bits came from.
