weird smell - Land Rovers Only

Witzel · 12-06-2007, 08:14 PM

I have noticed this weird smell that has only been apparent 5 or 6 times in the last couple months. The smell only appears right when you start the engine up, it will last for around 10-20 seconds then disappears. Smells almost like a burning smell. Does anyone have any ideas what this could be?

Probably have a small oil or coolant leak and it's burning off once you're engine starts to heat up. Keep an eye on those fluids!

does it smell fruity? check your oil and your coolant levels and color.... if your oil is really milky you might be burning coolant with your oil which isnt a good thing.

We need some more information, what does the smell smell like, have you looked to see if you have a leak?
