Burning rubber smell
Recently was in a multi-storey car park in a queue in my A4 1.9tdi 2003 avant waiting most of time sitting on the clutch as the car was most of time on a ramp moving slowly up the car park. A bad smell is now coming from the car. It's been almost two days now and I can still smell it. It's does not seem to be coming from the engine I can only describe the smell like burning rubber. The tyres and brakes check out okay. I Have put it into the place I have bought it from. I've seen other threads on other forums mentioning that it could be the clutch. My clutch seems to function perfectly I've not noticed any slipping or change of any sort. Any ideas any one ?:mad: Some has replied saying theres nothing to worry about but i must admin im a bit concerned !
