Just got myself a new coupe. liquid platnum 6spd. I've driven 180 miles and there seems to be a burning smell everytime I park my car. And the smell stays there for about hour. It smells like rubber burning but can't pinpoint the smell. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

 

This is normal since your car is brand new. You will get this smell for the first 500 and plus miles. It will go away after a whil;e though.

 

Ah the smell of a new car! Nice isn't it?

 

mine did the same it will go away....

 

check your exhaust and see if the infamous plastic bag has struck again. HTH

 

my car smelled exhaust gaskets while break-in especially after
hitting 1k miles when i opened her up.

 

LOL . . . Enjoy the "Other" new car smell. It will pass.

 

Yup, same here.. like everyone mentioned, it went away after about 750 miles for me.

 

I think that's hot undercoating smell. It goes away after 3-5k miles.

 

Haha! I am shocked to find a plastic bag melted onto my exhaust making that horrible smell! Nothing is ever that easy to figure out. (Sorry I am new) Thank You!!!!

 

when they ship the cars there is a protective coating on the engine, thats the smell you are smelling, its to protect against salt water damage

 

That is part of the new care smell. Congrats on the new ride! I have a new G as well. Just curious, do you notice if your gears grind a bit when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear? I get this sometimes when I shift below 3000 rpms.

 

Yes a little bit... Not to bad. My old car was bad with the first to second grind so....

 

ah, yeah I had that smell too. This was my first brand new off the lot car, so I never had that smell before, I had to call my mom and ask her what was up.

It has since then surpassed around 800 miles or so...

 

take a quick look near the cats and see if you see a melted plastic bag
