Use Glade, problem solved.

 

I actually just got this issue, but its usually when I'm stopped at a light, i did run over a road kill a week ago n thought some of it may got stuck in the engine bay and burning off but nothing there...I'll check the coolant levels tonight, btw its got 85k, normal temp. 93oct.

 

I'm assuming u have a 6mt, so that's smell could be your clutch burning after a hard take off. Thats when mine happens

 

Thats what I was thinking. ^^

 

smell of a true race car...

 

i have the same issue... no biggie....

 

i have 3 inch no cat turbos back..... i smell everything!~

 

I just got this smell tonight was worried. I hit 100 MPH a couple times on the highway coming home.

When I got to a stop, my car started smelling like the hot/burning coolant smell. I thought it was bc my coolant was low but my temps stayed in the normal 40% range.

I took it slow and easy the remaining way home after that and noticed the smell go away the closer I got to the house.

I'm still going to check everything again tomorrow and add coolant if its low

 

also clean your cabin Airfilter by replacing it.

 

i have the same problem too. i just bought an 05 coupe with 69 k miles on it. Cabin filter most probably needs changing.

 

ya this is seeming pretty common and im having it in a 5at so its not my clutch lol. but ill check my cabin filter too then.

 

Anyone change their cabin filter out to see if it solved the issue? I haven't changed my filter yet but the smell problem has gone away for some time now especially since it's geting warmer out
