Got burning smell in car.
After being parked up for several hours, returned to car a noticed an odd smell in car, after starting engine and pulling away then putting on auto demist a very strong burning smell filled the cabin, opened all the windows for the 2 mile journey home. After turning off the engine and getting out of the car the strong smell could be smelt outside and appeared to be coming from the engine compartment.
Smell still there following day when engine was cold.
Took to dealer who implied it was bad driving and the smell was from the clutch, no other problem found.
3 days later the smell is still evident but not as strong.
Find it hard to believe it could be clutch as driving style hasn't changed.
Any Ideas please.
