Burned rubber smell

[wwilliamm]

Has anyone experience it before? As I'm experiencing it myself currently on my myvi 1.5 auto tranny.

After a couple of hard rev's with my windows slightly down, I could smell the burn rubber smell

coming in. Stop the car aside, pop the hood and found nothing was wrong as the smell is coming

from the engine bay tho. Any suggestions? :hmmmm:

Sure. Bring it to the workshop for inspection

There might be a possibility its your tyres that are new giving that smell...

But pls dont take my word for it...

Just drive and when the smell comes stop at the nearest petrol kiosk and put your nose near the wheel to smell if its the same...

Might be burned engine oil smell..
I drive few car also have smell when drive it hard.
I think not a problem but check ur engine oil, or anything that is visible around the engine bay that is burned

Hmm, how do i know if the engine oil is burned? I tried checking around all the cables and fuses but everything seems to be fine.

Okay here's the thing, I just double check and my engine oil is at the proper level, timing belt not slipping and the auto transmission fluid is still pinkish and no burn smell. Weirddd! guess I'm just gonna ask the sc.

u got my meaning wrong, i mean small amount of engine oil circulate through ur throttle body and intake manifold when u drive it hard.
The more i write , the more confuse u are.

Lol I was just double checking on the engine bay only. And I get what you meant :)

it was your catalytic converter smell.. it was normal for stock car nowadays.

 

[LesleyAprotto]

Could be your ATF or engine oil dripping on the exhaust, thus giving the smell..

Check if theres any leaks....

maybe your pad brake burning?some engine oil can cause burning smell when u high revving..i think there's no problem la....many new cars when high revving can cause that smell bro....

 

[DanzEterna]

after a couple of weeks the smell will be gone...

I only smell burnt smell from other cars when coming down from genting but thanks for sharing, at least something new to take
note.

Did double check my engine bay, no leaks on the ground as well as on the heatshield of my stock extractor so yeah.

doubt is brake pad because i brake hard and no smell only after high rev's from 4k-6k.

after a couple of weeks the smell will be gone...

Hopefully it will haha.

Agree to that !

Did double check my dipstick tho, level still the same never decrease. And can't be my brake pad as it only happen during hard revs. When I hard brake there isn't any smell only got the " Squee Squee " sound lol.

every time i chase a car with this smell.. i knew they are still using the catalytic converter.. most of them with stock exhaust.. the smell only comes when u revved the car hard.. that is normal for nowadays car bro.. the catalytic converter burned excessive build up that goes through them..
