Engine Fire 🔥

[img alt="Has anyone experienced this situation.
Driving along beautifully in my E320 2006 W211 and the battery light came on and the car stopped. Then I noticed smoke from engine.
Lifted the engine cover and there was flames coming from in front of the turbo. Lucky than a kind gentleman had a fire extinguisher and we managed to put the fire out.
Just wondering if anybody else has had this and what caused their fire "]https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbworld.org-vbulletin/2000x1504/img_7894_d2093b2bb4a6c80fba098a91d184baf41721d164. jpeg[/img]

Oh it's one of those diesel 320s? Not surprise. Did you get the recall done?

What recall on the 2006 W211 E320 diesel would cause a fire?

I have had a fuel filter leak on my '05 E320 CDI, but that was no fault of the marque.
