Hi everyone
New here - hoping other people have experienced this and it's something innocent - 2021 Plus Four manual gearbox - basically off the road last year (for you know what....) so still only has 1600 miles on the clock. I've noticed under hard driving a burning smell - like the smell of a clutch or something like that - definitely not the smell of fuel
I'm hoping it's just oils etc burning off as the car is effectively still new.....
Has anyone else noticed any strong odours (from the car!) when they've been in the running in phase? There's no clutch slip, braking issues, vibrations, odd noises etc - so nothing that suggests anything is rubbing where it shouldn't be.
Any thoughts very welcome!
Thanks
Neil

Hi Neil,
Yes, I experience exactly the same thing in my 2022 P4 Auto.
I had a MB E Class some years ago that did the same thing and was told by the MB dealer it was the particulate filter in the exhaust burning off excess particulate matter when the higher temperatures were generated by the catalytic converter. Whether the is the case here I cannot say for sure other that the odour was exactly the same as that experienced with my P4.
Cheers,
Andrew
