artscot79 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 you've clearly had a fire of some sorts we can only guess but you'll need the car looked at it would be a stab in the dark to suggest what it could be from the sound if it a fire in the throttle body either electrical or over fuelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drsdriver Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Could be a cigarette someone had thrown out the window and your car filter sucked it up ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
