IAmTobore:
I guess your boy didn't handle the battery well, and the battery terminals must have been coming in contact with the car's body. By the way, are you sure there was no cigarette around when you parked it, or are there any smokers in your compound.

Nah.......

Nothing of such

Was around 1am

saajus:
It is possible scientifically but still investigate for Arson. Are you suspecting anyone? Do you have some documents that you think someone may want to destroy? Is someone fighting you? Do you have CCTV around that could help your investigation?

No CCTV

But would do the lil I can regarding investigations

alizma:
The "backfire" happens when you turn off the engine but after some seconds or immediate, the engine start making some sound as if its on and working silently, someone said the engine kind of roll anti clock, I don't really know much about it but it had happened to me before and the car almost got burnt, in fact, the foot mat at the front was already burning

Never heard of that, but Thanks!

Ademoore07:

Kelvinsaint:

Hmmmmm.....


Thats New though

What was the cause?

lograr:
Does this car look like Toyota sienna ? Sorry for your loss

Didnt Use any pix

verifiablefacts:
parked not more than 2 hrs and it happened around 3am? Where were you coming from?

Lol......

tunax5loon:
The guy that changed the battery is a mumu rewire

I guess so

It is well

Just Happy no one was Hurt

wale0911:
I am 100% certain that this was the case. I had similar experience, I was still within the compound when I noticed flames coming out of the bonnet. It was put out on time. I lost a few plastics components under the hood. Sorry for your loss. Hope you're insured.

Nah!

But thanks

UniversalDove:
eeya sorry o...

Thanks!!!
At least No live was lost

KINGreignn:
Any work previously done on that car prior to that fire?

Yes!

Electrical work like 4days ago and One of my Boys use another Battery to start the Car, because mine was Dead, that Night before Driving Me home

tunax5loon:
Very possible. The iron holder on the battery is earthed to the car. This means that the car body is the neutral. Once the iron touches the positive terminal, it will spark. this will in turn cause fire which will be dropping like a molten magma on the wires. The rest is history. It can occur even after 3hrs

Hmmmmm......


Then I guess this was what happened


The whole Engine part is about 600k Naira

Is it advisable to repair it or buy another and sell it as Scrap?

tunax5loon:
If the battery holder is not tightened properly and it's touching the positive terminal of the battery, the car can get burnt

Is this possible even after I have parked the car for Hours?



If Yes, then this might be what happened because I asked one of my boy to change the battery for me

KINGreignn:
Mercedes Benz c300 and Ford with ecoboost engine is known to have a factory defect that might result in burning.

Any car with turbo engine is also known to run very hot and hence not recommended to immediately turn off when you park. Turning off ignition immediately after parking, or parking in grass fields or similar places could cause heat from turbo to ignite the grasses or clothes or paper or even wood and it will burn the car too.

Cars with poor electrical works or faulty electric system, leaking fuel system can and has been known to ignite.

This is possible but the problem is that I have parked the car for hours only for neighbours to call around 3am(like 3hours later) to inform me about the car that is on fire

PS: It was on a Concrete floor
Toyota Sienna 2016

UniversalDove:
I think the answer centers around what could generate a spark in the vehicle and how extremely hot the temperature was.

I doubt if any temperature in Nigeria will be that hot enough

Not even hot and It happened around 3am

BuhariNaWah:
If the owner is a Yahoo boy, YES

Lol


I resemble Yahoo Boy?

Is it possible for One's car to get burnt on its own after parking it and switching it Off for more than 2hours?

Please take this to FP for wider views, I need to get things clear.

Another MMM on fleek
