Due to the accelerator pedal, but the engine is slow He drove until he got off the bridge in front of the Eternal Village. It appears that the car can't step on the brake, so the car slows down by using the handbrake to force it. until the scene car engine failure before a plume of smoke erupted from the hood. until a fire erupted The nearby villagers saw Bring a fire extinguisher to help extraction, but can't extinguish. before the firefighters arrive which this car is a car equipped with gas as fuel Therefore, it is not yet known what caused .

Andyfez Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Unusual for a Thai to want to change the oil. Makes me wonder if the actual story was that there was no oil, and she was driving the car to get some. Hence the engine burned up..... ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickudon Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Ford fiestas (and other Fords) did have a bit of a reputation in the UK for going up in smoke. happened to my ex-wife and to a colleague at work. Only cars i ever saw burnt out and not the result of an accident/vandalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyF Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 That will buff out ????. From the translation it sounds like maybe the accelerator stuck so the driver applied the handbrake. Car still in gear and trying to accelerate with the handbrake on? Sounds like a recipe for heat, friction and a fire. Maybe turning the engine off would have been prudent?
