Well, I haven't had very good luck with my S4 5 speed so far, just replaced the MAF and got it running really well. Parked it in the driveway for a couple of hours and then started it up to back into the garage and bang she started on fire! Luckily the garden hose was nearby but the damage is done. It's up to my insurance now to determine the car's fate.
Fuel system is completely intact still, fire looks to have started on driver side near the front bumper, maybe power steering or air conditioning.
Here are the grizzly pics!

Air conditioning is on the passenger side.
The 'usual' suspect (to the extent that non-fuel-line fires are at all usual) for a fire starting at the front-left is a shorting power lead to the ABS pump. It's a BIG wire that goes to the battery and has no fuse.
