Over the last few weeks, Ive had a smell coming from the car after a drive, it smells kind of like burning rubber/plastic. It doesnt seem to matter whether Ive driven the car hard, or like a granny, and, its not always there. Its coming from the engine bay.
Ive gone through the engine bay many times, checked hoses, the belts, and I cant find what could be causing the smell, all the hoses and belts are in good nick. The smell, seems to be coming from somewhere near or around where the turbo is, but its hard to tell.
and as far as I can see, nothing has flicked up from the road or anything onto a hot car part.
So appart from hoses, belts and rubbish kicked up from the road, does anyone have any other suggestions on what I can check, because I am really out of ideas.
(car is a MY02)
Ive recently installed a STi TMIC, but dont see that being the issue.
