Anyone have a burning smell on their 13 GT? Almost smells like oil and sometimes sulfar after I have drove it. Has 200 mi on it.

 

Ever think its the smell of breaking in the motor and other engine components?

 

That's what it is OP in a non sarcastic way.

 

Pretty normal during break-in while all the oils on the motor and exhaust burn off, the catalytic converters burn-in, and the rings seat in the engine. Pay attention to the smell over the first 1000-miles, it should diminish over than time.

 

I never had a smell

 

This, when newer cars are driven hard they produce this smell.

 

I had the same smells when I first got my 2012 Boss

 

Same here when I got my 2012 mustang it would make a smell but it stop after 5000 miles

 

I hear honda makes a fine car that doesnt make a smell. You might want to look into one.

 

I wonder if you keep the Honda it in its power band at 5-6,000 RPMs for the first 1000 miles and it might produce a similar burning smell?

 

Same smell here, no worries!

 

I'm curious, those that have had the smells, do you have manuals? I always assumed the smell was a clutch losing the friction pads initial coating.

 

Since on this topic...I am under 500kms right now...what is the proper break in ?

I have just driven on the high way and did 120, 124 Kms an hour, and yes, the smell is there...plus have brought the car up to 4,500 rpm tonight, and getting the burning as well.

Aside from the Manual, all it says is...do not drive at constant speeds for long periods of time...what does that really mean ?

My gt is an auto.

 

Pull my finger.

They payin you advertise in the forums? Last 2 threads I reads you tell people to get Honda. The guy wasn't complaining here just askin a question.

OP, both my 12 and 13 have this smell. Especially after some spirited driving

who told you!!

 

let me be specific, smell coming from the back (more noticeable in a closed space) is the smell of welding points, exhaust pipes heating, and plastic parts heating up..ford tech guy said same thing happens when you get new catback exhausts the parts will heat up giving off a smell..if its burnt toast smell in the front, then its the clutch..

 

I did. Haven't smelled it lately but even past 2000 miles I was still getting it under a certain circumstance.

I had a plastic smell for a few days. But then I drove the car 2300 miles in the first month and it went away.
