MjGillgrass Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 All of a sudden ive been getting a burning rubber smell coming through the vents when im driving. When i stop to check what it is, it is coming from the engine, the belts are not slipping and i have had a look on google but cant find anything, if anyone has had this problem before could someone please help figure whats going on. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Can you smell oil too? Most probably cam cover gaskets, have a look to the left of the engine shine a torch down there if there's oil Theres a good chance it needs replacing Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MjGillgrass Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 There is no oil smell, just a very strong smell of rubber. ive looked into the engine and there are no signs of a oil leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggysniffer Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hello mate what about if you wait for the smell to go, then start the car and leave it running without driving it, does it smell then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MjGillgrass Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 i was thinking there might be a loose hose thats touching a hot part of the engine but i cant seem to find any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggysniffer Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 If it defo burning rubber/maybe plastic smell I would look at what's in play when your driving then mate, your really gonna be looking at power steering belt or tyres rubbing on something I would have thought, maybe plastic engine undertray loose and getting pushed onto exhaust at speed, if it's defo defo rubber, I would think tyres or power steering belt as a start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenmamba Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Have you checked for cv grease being flung onto hot exhaust? That could smell similar to rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
