Help

I used to have that problem few months back on occasions when I drive hard ... don't encounter it nowadays though ... my mechanic told me the reason before but forgot what it was already ... Nothing to worry about though ... my 8 still runs fine ...
Any bros know what the prob is?

Had the same problem too.
Was told by my SE could b from the new brakes....
Went around smelling the tyres ( like a dog ) only not duin wat it would hv done next..... :D
Sent car in today 4 some touch up.
From mechanics ---
could b unburn fuel reacting with the coating in the exhaust. Once the coating stablelised, the smell will go away...
Dunno true or not...

experience the same burning smell too.
separately, when I just start the car and moving off in 1st gear, there is a light "klang" sound, not sure from where. anyone else experience that? only happens when car just started.

i cant take the smell... itz horrible...
need to do something about it quick...

Just a thought....have you tried setting yer aircon at recirculate instead of fresh air intake? Wondering if that helps to block the smell.
