DB A burning smell can be caused by excessive clutch friction and overheating. A slipping clutch is one possible cause and should be investigated.
When you're most likely to notice it
The smell is often most noticeable after pulling away, climbing hills or driving in traffic, when the clutch is under the most load.
Why it needs checking
Continuing to drive with an overheating clutch can generate additional heat and potentially damage associated components, so it's worth having inspected promptly.
DB Autos can investigate a burning smell and identify the cause. Call 01782 844320 or bring your vehicle in.
