I have noticed a slight burn smell, ( like rubber/paper) sometimes when giving fair to hard acceleration on a long run ( like a steady hill climb).
It passes quickly enough but just seems odd.
I searched the other model forums in here and see it has popped up quite a bit, sometimes there is an obvious reason but more times they are not able to find the reason.

 

That's funny I thought I smelled the same thing the other night..... Kinda scasred me

 

It would be good to know what kind of burn you smelt; do you know the different smells?

1) Electrical
2) Oil burning (usually when it falls from a leaky valve cover gasket onto the catalytic converter)
3) Transmission fluid burning
4) Coolant evaporating very quickly when hitting hot surface

I'm not even gonna attempt at describing smells on an Internet forum -- it's something one learns through experience.

If i had to guess, i would say that you have a radiator leak (or some other part of the cooling system leaking) somewhere; as they usually reveal themselves when under heavy load or high temperatures (a hill climb would do it).

I hope this helps, please let us know what it is.

 

nope,
it is more like burning rubber.

 

I get an exhaust odor in my car when I floor it and get up to 90. About the time I back off the throttle is when I smell it. I usually have the air conditioning on recirculate. Need to see if it's there with the AC on outside air mode.
