Wheres the burning rubber smell coming from?
Twice now Ive been stuck intraffic and as the fan starts to cycle, temp staying less than half way and no ac on, I smell a burning rubber smell. Ive checked under the hood and do not see anything, but do notice a hose next to the exhaust manifold and then 2 that run across the from of the engine exhaust manifold to the passenger side.
I turned the ac on low to turn on the fan and when it was a complete stand still, put it in nutral and turned off the engine.
Is this normal? No threads regarding a burning smell other than exhaust oils from the factory. What should I do to lessen this? Hose covers? Exhaust wrap for the hoses?
Thanks
