Mercedes C320!
didn't some recent Peugeot's go through a spate of setting themselves on fire, I think it was either 406' or 206's. I saw that ginger haired b**ch on about it on watchdog a few years ago.
From what i know that was the 307's, but they were engine fires! Unfortunately this isn't that uncommon to here within the motor trade, I am a tech for mercedes and have seen it a few times! Plus they will always send out special trained technicians to check everything, and i mean everything as they take it very serious! I am surprised with VW tho cos i thought they would have been the same!
Anyway sorry to here that mate, Hope you have more luck with your new car!
