What's causing that burnt smell in my 05 XKR ?
What's causing that burnt smell in my 05 XKR ? I have a 03 XJR that I can step on and only smell rubber. But my when I step on my 05 XKR I smell burnt fluid. I'm running Castrol 5w30 Full Synthetic. Any Ideas ?I also smell that sweet smell of antifreeze when at idle. I know there's a leak but II can not find it. Haven't had to add any fluid so I know it's small. Where should I check. An finally, the Suspension Fault Light is on. I bought the car last year. She unfortunately came with 20's, so the Ole girl rises hard. Momma's getting some new shoes BBS Milan 8 x18 for the front and 9 x 18 for the rear. I had the shock checked out, I was told they're good. But the car bottoms out when I go over speed bumps scrapping the front bumper splash guard. Could a bad coil cause this ? What else should I Check ? I trust you all experiences and expertise in advising me in these matters. Thanks Again Gals and Guys

In my experience a burnt smell is usually brakes. Either a draging parking brake, draging pad or foreign material stuck in there.
If you smell anti-freeze and there is no leak the most likely culprit is a leak inside the heater core that gets into the heating vents. Since you have a coupe this is easier to diagnose, if the anit-freeze smell is inside the car but not outside it is almost certainly related to the heater core.
