Hot metal smell?? :S
-> 206 Problems

Hey Guys

Everytime i get out my car there is a very hot metal type smell coming from my side and near the engine..
Took the car to peugeot yesterday for the 'health check'..turns out my front anti roll bars are gone in the front and so were my back disks and pads.replaced the rear brakes but the roll bars are going to have to wait till next month..

new stainless exhughst in feb with the usual burning smell but that went away after a week..peugeot said they couldnt see any reason why there is a burning smell..topped up all my levels and gave it a full check

slightly concerned, any thoughts?

i dont drive like a maniac either so its not the brakes!

No, arb..thats what they put in the quote anyway..i hear a clunking under the front wheels going down my bumpy drive.

Anyway no matter what, the question is...whats with the burning/very hot metal sound? Shocked
