Hi,
I'm a noobie driver here. Got my 'P' beginning of this year only.
Driving a Kelisa. Wondering when I get out of my car, I can smell some burning smelll like that. I think it's coming out from the front.
Is it because my the water to cool down the engine not enough?

really noobie here, pls help

Usually new cars do have such smell. Is your car new?

Er nop. Almost 2 years ready. Just changed batteries around 2 weeks back.

are you driving a manual? if yes, you might have pressed the clutch pedal too often. if you feel that the clutch pedal becoming stiff, it might be going soon. send to workshop for a checkup.

Nop..it's an automatic car

any work done on exhaust?my father's care done exhaust modification and they sprayed the exhaust pipe...the smell comes from the spray..

Nop. Car never been modified or spray

hangit smell?like overcooked rice?

u got rev the engine kau kau or not ?

Check the exhaust under the car, maybe a plastic bag got stuck to the hot exhaust and has melted onto the pipe.

Sry for the late reply

Hmm, something like that...

Er, nop. I didn't modify anything on my car...

Checked, no plastic bags..

Anyway, these few days no smell ready ler...
Not sure where's the problem

maybe its the smell of your brake pads...always press ze brakes hard?

Hmm....I wouldn't say hard.
But then the smell is only when I get out of my car, so could it be the smell of brake pads?

Haha. Always "No" answer one...

Open the hood and try to smell where it came from?

Handbrake not released?

Dude, it's almost impossible to diagnose without actually smelling it ourselves. It could be ANYTHING.

Take it to a mechanic straight away. Don't ask the people here because unless we can smell it (and with your very vague descriptions) there is no way we are going to narrow it down.

I once took my old car (which had four-piston Brembos, Pagid race pads and cross-drilled discs) to a track and liquified the pads completely. There was no smell.

dun worry mate.its normal lah..even a bmw has that smell.older bmw la.hehe

Oh, thanks a lot then.
I guess I have to close this topic.
Perhaps I'll take to a mechanic soon. Kinda busy lately.
Thanks a lot
