Hey, I've had the same thing for about 4 years now. Can't tell where it coming from either
I am frankly afraid of asking this question...but I have noticed that there is faint rubber smell when I get out of the car. When I look into the engine bay nothing looks amiss and I do not see any smoke.
I am hoping that it is just a rubbber tube touching something hot, but I fear that I am naively optimistic!
Thank you in advance,
Thanos

Slipping clutch? Sticking brakes (carefully touch each wheel next time you smell this)?Originally Posted by Thanos

that clutch cars sometimes emit a rubber like smell from the clutch, tends to get worse if the clutch is weak. One suggestion is to replace all them clutch cars with automatics.

That's good news. Boy, I do love this car...but that earlier thread about the money pit they can be continues to rattle me and I fear every little whiff! I cross my fingers. One thing in my favor is that I only drive the thing about 6k miles a year (with 125k on it). So maybe I can continue to dodge some bullets.
