Hi All,
I seem to get a weird smell sometimes under heavy acceleration, most often when kicking down with the DSG or at higher RPM. It smells like burning, not like sulphur or anything like that and reminds me of my old 2000 plate fiesta that would do the same when struggling up a hill.
I've had exhaust manifold checked and no issues there, also had the secondary cat removed which seemed to fix the issue, but came back shortly after (could be related to the lack of wide open throttle use shortly after). I have no idea where to look to be honest, and not sure if it is something that will get worse or cause an issue over time.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Could it be the DSG (clutches etc) or simply dust in the cylinders?
Any help would be great, thanks!
