Seems a strange one..
After a spirited drive around the Peaks yesterday the car has developed a burning smell?!? Which will appear after 5mins of driving (the car has not even warmed up yet)
It is not over heating, all coolant temps are fine
Clean and full oil
Clean air filter
but the inlet manifold/engine seems to be scorching after a drive, alot warmer when compared to 3 other 172's which had driven then same jounrey.. If that makes sense :S
There is nothing touching the exhaust manifold either
Checked most "obvious" things
But still the burning smell is there
Now I am thinking a bearing, alternator perhaps? It does give off a screech every now and again from that area?
Any suggestions
