help needed - Burning smell
Hi every time i use my car (MY00) after it has warmed up there is a burning smell and i cant seem to find the cause. I had it in for a service last week which i thought may cure the problem but it seems to be worse. Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this ? Also been told may have faulty Lambda sensor could this cause the smell ?
Cheers

Agree with above. Lift the bonnet and you might see some smoke rising from around the turbo area.
Pretty cheap to fix although mine went on my classic two or three times (known problem)

Hi,
Can someone please confirm whether the drivers side rocker cover gasket can be changed without dropping the engine? I've got the same problem and am getting mixed reports from garages/friends.
Thanks guys
Nicky

You do not have to take the engine out. 100% ignore anyone who says differently and dont take your car there as they are either idiots, ripping you off - or both!

Hi thanks for the help. I had it back to the garage this morning and he does not think its the rocker gaskets he phoned his mate who is a subaru machanic and he thinks it could be the MAF sensor or the Lambda sensor he is going to take to him to get the engine diadnostics checked first and have a proper look at the cause.

Do you know what exactly has to come out of the bay to get the drivers side done? MAF/Airbox, plug leads etc....???
EDIT: it is an MY98 classic if that has any bearing on the layout...
PS sorrry for the slight hijack of the thread lol

Hi thanks again for the advice. If the lambda sensor was faulty the car could be running rich could this not cause the burning smell ? Also i checked the cel codes myself and the came up with lambda and MAF sensor faults this is why he was going to put it on subaru's fault diognostics and also reset the ECU and see what faults it shows up.
