Second post today :bang:
Daughters car dropped the gearbox linkage last night so bodged that tonight.
Whilst fixing this she said dads there’s a smell when I run the car ??
Not believing her after rebuilding the geAr linkage left it on tickover ......now eating humble pie ?
It sure smells and it smokes to boot wtf?.
It’s eminating from the aux belt side of the engine- I replaced the aux belt in March with a Gates belt so I know that’s new . Timing belt and water pump also done in a July. For the life in me I cannot figure out where this smell and smokes from. It ain’t the clutch or release bearing as just sorted that out, plus she said it’s been doing it “a while but forgot tell me” ?
Anyone a theory at all - all pulleys look like there moving freely on the aux belt. Thought about dropping aux belt and starting car up to see if it still smokes and stinks just to start ruling stuff out.
Engines not overheating, no sign of mayo in oil cap or dip stick, no coolant loss or discoloured no steam from exhaust- help I’m running out of patience:slayer: but not sure if it’s daughter that’s going to get it or the car ??
Cheers all as always
