Burning Smell

Recommended Posts

Hey,

I've started to notice a burning smell after I've been driving for a while. Smells a little bit like clutch and burning rubber. My clutch is new and has done about 2k miles of mostly sensible driving. I spent most of today sat in traffic in the rain and could still smell it, so that doesn't suggest tyres to me. any ideas?

It wouldn't be the first time I'd heard of someone getting a new clutch fitted and it wasn't properly adjusted.

I'm not sure how you'd diagnose that, especially since clutches can get cooked in heavy traffic.

Could be leaking cam plate, very small drops of oil drop onto the exhaust. Worth a look.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking it is!

It's possible. I had it done at Fensport as they're 5 mins from me, so I'd trust they had done it properly but won't harm me to pop round there and get them to take a look
