Hi all sifu, I'd like to ask for your opinion on my car's matter. When I'm trying to accelerate hard, eg. Rev from 2K RPM to 6K rpm, inside my car will have a smell like as if when we're driving fast and we brake hard that sort of smell(smell of the brakes). What could the problem roughly be?

TY for all sifu for ur help

what smell??... can be more specific??... ur poo smell??... or urine smell??...

He already mentioned it dude.It smells like burning brake pad.

u say break.. not brake...

the smell is about the same as when we're speeding and we brake hard that sort of smell from the brakes but it's from the engine instead

ty bro for helping me to clarify that

it's brake not break

either brake smell or clutch smell...

if brake smell, check calipers got jammed or not... does ur car feels heavy during acceleration??...

if clutch smell, could be clutch slip... when was the last time u changed ur clutch pad??... any vibrations on ur clutch pedal during hard acceleration??..

nope car doesn't feel heavy during acceleration the same as the past. no vibration since the car is auto. wonder what could be the problem?

ooo... auto car ah...

first, open ur bonnet and check for any fluid leaks which could drip on hot surface, causing the strange burning smell....

have done that bro. nothing found

mayb clutch slip... causing the smell...

sometimes the car will have sound like gear slipping also. what should i do?

bro cata,auto transmission car will have clutch slip problem?

oh soli... didnt notice its auto tranny...

no idea den... haha... base on smell alone vr hard to diagnose the problem...

no others popping in to help?

sure the smell is like brake? and not electrical?
also the smell is from within? means all ur windows are close still got smell?

definitely not electrical bro. it have some sort of smell similar to brakes. the smell coming from within engine compartment i believe as all windows are closed. slow acceleration no such smell only when i accelerate hard have this smell.

timing belt??? aircond belt???

timing belt not yet expired. aircon belt is still new

same goes here..my family owned a Honda City iDSi..as u all know d iDSi doesnt pack a punch when pedal to d metal, but strangely, my cabin is filled with "some sort of engine smell" when i rev it hard..it only disappear when i change d air intake to d aircond from "recycle" to d outside air (i mean the knob there)..

been to Honda's authorized SC for 5 times, it doesnt solve the problem + money terbang..still have d smell that would eventually kill my family..

now my family is looking forward 2 change d Honda to a Proton as d problem cant be fixed by d SC themselves...it really saddens me as here in FnF really looked high on Honda...

any solution b4 i dump for a Proton?..

bro kazuhito, dont sell ur honda city. keep it as it's a very good car just accelerate slowly i guess unless you're in a hurry. but i hope i can find out the source to this problem so maybe other people having this problem i also can help la
