Default Burning smell

My Pan 4 has about 3000 Kms. I always get a mild burning smell around the front of the car after shutting off the engine, after the car has been driven for a while. I cannot smell it from inside of the car. Is this normal?

Default Something at the combustion point

If you smell something that suggests burning to you, I'd track it down fast. I had a similar incident years ago with a truck and ignored it, until it became critical and stopped the engine. Turned out a wire had worn through the insulation and shorted out the ignition. Wasn't easy to find until it smoked.

OK, I'll get it checked out by the dealer next week. Actually it is more like a burning rubber smell.
