Title: Burning Smell
Post by: MoshiMoshi on 23 December 2012, 21:54
Hi guys, had a weird burning smell when pulling away/stationary. Smells a bit like candles, but more carbon-ish. Also had the MIL on the other day for code 17522 lambda sensor failure. Could the smell have been the wiring for the sensor melting? Or a result of the sensors failure to the fuel/air ratio?

I know the smell isn't the clutch, and it's not the starter motor either.

Thanks again for any help.

Merry Christmas x
