Burning Smell

Burning Smell
I've got an o7 C2S with about 3300 miles, in the last couple of hundred miles i've noticed a burning smell once I get out of the car. I'm not sure if it's burning oil or what. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yup my 06 S also, took it in they said brake smell, smelled like clutch to me?? They said no. They were willing to check clutch on my nickel, I declined for now, I have 12K now!

Itmight be either >Sulfur< or >Cosmoline< .
To deal with the first possibility, change the type of gas (petrol) to another brand. The cosmoline smell should go away over time.

Get used to it. There's very hot exhaust system very compact next to engine with hoses, oil, insulation, cosmoline etc.; rear-engined car (compacted exhaust system) will stink up the whole garage. I had an exhaust fan installed in the garage for this car.

Hmmmm. I find it odd when there is no smell. Burn that biatch. Does it happen after every trip? Do you drive aggressively especially last couple of minutes before you get home?

I haven't had that smell in some time now. Did for a long time. I'm approaching 11,000 miles. Will turn that this coming weekend. It's just settling in and burning things off.

My 996 did not do that.
