Hi people,
Hope you can assit me,after driving for a while then come home and park in my garage i can smell a hot kind of smell coming from drivers side back wheel arch? At first thought it was rear brakes but changed them and smell still there. Its not very strong but enough to notice but only smell at wheel arch? Strange. :2Confused
Thanks for your input.
exhaust maybe melting something? wheels rubbing at the top of the arch lining.. umm.. Ooo have you got a fog light wired up there? lol had that prob n melted the wire lol.. YAY!!
Exhaust and rear Skirt is the Common one.
What series is it? Certainly the 1st Generation car always has a hot exhaust smell, but only at the O/S back wheelarch as you describe. This is the case from new.
Its a 3rd gen car 1995 when build
Are you sure it\'s not a binding calliper? Feel the wheels and see if they\'re a different temp for both the rears.
No its not brakes they are equal temperature on both rears,but was a good idea.
Thanks
