Isnt that the fuse box?
so this morning I sit in my car and put the key in, i turn it and I hear a loud bang, next thing I see some smoke coming up from under the hood and I smell burning rubber
I open the hood and it came from the circled area below(picture below)
smoke was gone after a few seconds and the car had no problems starting after that, any ideas??

I didn't notice anything, I drove the car after that and everything was fine
predrag1,
The photo you supplied looks like a RHD car. Since you live in a country that drives on the "wrong" side of the road, I assume that you have a LHD car?
Surely you have a digital camera or at least a cell phone that takes pictures?
ur thread title really sounded scary for a while. i thought some animal went into your car and died and u can't find the body.
well, do upload a pic of the problem area of your car, and like nenad said, check the fuse box.
^^lol
fuse box butmine is on the other side how loud was it oculd you hear a bang when u was sititng in the car with doors closed
cos that would haveto be prity loud
it was pretty damn loud, ill try to get a picture later

this just happened again, got into the car, turned on the lights since it was dark, put the key in, turned it and bang, smoke came from under the hood and it smelled like urning rubber, I popped the hood and everything seemed normal, car started after that
im sorry pre but this is funny to me.....u sure its not back firing if you have had 2 big bangs and smoke...how can everything be normal......or is this your 202 showing how hard it is
