[QUOTE="Trikky2, post: 292530, member: 240"] Fire is the number one cause of older / classic cars being written off. Thats ALL of them - not just VW. Admittedly some catch fire whilst being worked on/welded but the main cause is poor maintenance eg. dodgy fuel lines, missing clips and poor electrics - coupled with infrequent use and inspection. Then there are also some cases of ageing or dodgy parts like carbs where the brass fuel nozzle comes out of the casting. Some stuff ages and wears out even if its just sat in the garage. As previously posted - keep checking on a regular basis. [/QUOTE]
