Engine Bay and Undercoat spray
Hi,
When I took delivery of my G, I had asked for the optional protection package which included the Engine bay and undercoat rust protection spray. It kind of looks like a rubbery compound that coats the bay.
Every time I give the car a little "gas" or accelerate hard, I notice a very disctint burning smell and i'm not talking about tire spin here. When I pull over and look under the hood, the smell seems to be coming from the engine bay. It almost smells like a combination of burnt antifreeze and burt rubber.
Has anyone else experienced this? I assumed that any overspray would have burnt off by now but I have had the car since late October and I still notice this after moderate to hard acceleration.
Anyone without the underspray notice a smell after an acceleration?
Thanks for the replies!
