Problem 3 of 3 - burning smell when I hoof it
Hi
When I drive the car "with gusto", .. I've noticed a brning smell which makes its way into the cockpit.
I really think it is associated with continuous high revs.
Could it be the turbo ? There is no "whine" from the turbo , so that kind of seems fine.
I've also put exhaust wrap and "fire putty" on , a few weeks ago , when I re-fitted the exhaust , but I'm fairly sure the smell has only started recently.
help !
