right just happened stick my head in the engine bay for a routine check and noticed the gauge on my firetec was bottomed out and that the extinguisher was empty.
further examination showed the tube had melted very slightly under one of the protection coils ???
theres no indication the system went of in one hit as there is loads of dust on the engine and normal grime associated with a vw engine??
i have checked how it was fitted and there is no indication the coil was introduced a electrical current so no heat generated
there hasn't been a fire as i think i would of noticed plus the split in the tube is very slight
the only thing I can think of is the heat of the engine has heated the coil and melted the tube
any ideas?????
