Re: [MBZ] Yet another reason not to drive a BMW diesel
I don't actually know but I suspect its something like: The coolant leaks into a chamber thats a bazillion degrees during regeneration, the water boils out of the coolant and the resulting "stuff" is hot enough to ignite. -Curt On Wednesday, October 24, 2018, 2:53:30 PM EDT, Randy Bennell via Mercedes wrote: So, the engine overheats when the coolant leak becomes an issue and that causes the soot to ignite?

Re: [MBZ] Yet another reason not to drive a BMW diesel
It says the fire is around the exhaust filter which is where soot gets burned up, presumably it gets really hot in there... -Curt On Wednesday, October 24, 2018, 1:29:15 PM EDT, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes wrote: I also wondered about this.

Getting glycol on your soot makes it more flammable? I think something got lost in the translation to Reporterese.
