If the battery holder is not tightened properly and it's touching the positive terminal of the battery, the car can get burnt


Stop using battery holder I almost burnt a car with it.

no wonder 2015 mercedez benz c300 is not common,and its even being sold cheap by people that use it.

So person no go fit enjoy turbo engine in peace again,how will i buy car and will be always speculating where its safe to park it. I rather buy normal i4 engine and have peace of mind
2015 C300 isn't common because many can't afford it,even you.
So stop making shitty excuses.

Is possible if the car "backfires" for that long.

This is possible but the problem is that I have parked the car for hours only for neighbours to call around 3am(like 3hours later) to inform me about the car that is on fire

PS: It was on a Concrete floor

I don't know anything about cars, all I know is I felt your pain from this post.

Sorry about your loss. God will wipe your pain with a bigger car before the year runs out.

my dad car got burnt after 3 hours of parking and the funny part of it is that it rained that particular day...
Re: Accident Or Car Arson? by solmusdesigns: 5:29pm On Jan 19, 2020
yes windshield can cause intense heat through sun that can ignite objects on the dashboard,
Re: Accident Or Car Arson? by ozoebuka1(m): 5:29pm On Jan 19, 2020

Very possible. The iron holder on the battery is earthed to the car. This means that the car body is the neutral. Once the iron touches the positive terminal, it will spark. this will in turn cause fire which will be dropping like a molten magma on the wires. The rest is history. It can occur even after 3hrs
how could this be avoided?
Re: Accident Or Car Arson? by govomotors: 5:31pm On Jan 19, 2020
There three (3) things that make up fire:

Spark (Heat) + Air + Free burning material (fuel, cloth, rubber etc.) This is the circle of fire.

If these three (3) are identify then it's an accident

Re: Accident Or Car Arson? by EgunMogaji2: 5:32pm On Jan 19, 2020
It's possible for a vehicle to burn unattended or untampered with.

Folks, this is why we have insurance. So we don't have to worry.
Re: Accident Or Car Arson? by LongThickPenis(m): 5:34pm On Jan 19, 2020
Insurance fraud. Check well . The guy has new comprehensive insurance policy of less than one month
Re: Accident Or Car Arson? by DaBullIT(m): 5:35pm On Jan 19, 2020
Anything is possible , but if you recently did electrical works , that's your first suspect

sometimes in 2010 or thereabouts i was using a Rover 75 connoisseur SE , the horn wouldn't work so i took it to our famous ''rewire guy'' he did some (join join) connections , so i can blare the horn from the door on the tapping glass button


it was late at night i was feeling hot , so i went outside to open the car ,collect breeze, play games on phone and download movies that sort of thing i just noticed a red line like that , followed by smell of burning rubber, before i could call J for Jesus , smoke followed , had to use my bare hand to cut that red hot wire (that was worked for horn) then open my bonnet to disconnect the battery


if it wasn't for heat, that car would have probably burnt to ashes ,


needless to say i stopped using that rewire guy and i'll never allow you to join join anything

Is this possible even after I have parked the car for Hours?



If Yes, then this might be what happened because I asked one of my boy to change the battery for me

The guy that changed the battery is a mumu rewire

I am 100% certain that this was the case. I had similar experience, I was still within the compound when I noticed flames coming out of the bonnet. It was put out on time. I lost a few plastics components under the hood. Sorry for your loss. Hope you're insured.
