BURNING RUBBER SMELL COMING FROM VENTS

[MjGillgrass]

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

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

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.

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

no

i was thinking there might be a loose hose thats touching a hot part of the engine but i cant seem to find any

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

Have you checked for cv grease being flung onto hot exhaust? That could smell similar to rubber.
