For us other TT owners out there...did they determine the cause of the fire? I lost a 99 996 to fire, so I'm interested in any potential hot spots....so to speak. I've heard that the power steering fitting is prone to failure and sprays fluid over the manifold that eventually catches fire. I now carry a Halon extinguisher.
