MP4.2+6.0

On the one interior shot, dashboard looks intact. If correct, that eliminates a lot of normal wiring questions. That the outside mirror is melted so badly but not the interior seems odd and that maybe fuel was involved--certainly seemed underhood. If it was just serviced last week as one of the posts mentions, I would be looking at the possibility something in the fuel system was not serviced correctly. That can happen to any car unfortunately.

I'm really interested in the root cause of this.

Sorry I just copied and pasted her email to me.

1. Car is still under investigation. Audi sent two technicians to check it out. She doesn't have the report from local fire marshall yet.

2. The car was serviced the previous week and she did not drive it since the day the incident happened.

3. She drove it a few miles, parked it outside of the piano teacher's house and turned off the car.

4. Picked up the daughter, went back to the car.

5. When she was about to drive off, she saw some smoke coming out of the hood.

6. Smoke got worse and developed into a serious fire.

7. No explosion even with a full tank of gas.

could be shorted coil pack like the other B6 that burned up

You didn't run into anything? If you didn't then most likely the coil pack started it.
