Bought a new 2006 KIA Sportage Ex and after driving it a short distance it smells like metal burning What is causing that?In: Car Smells, Car Buying |
[Edit] |
Answer:
If the car is new, it is probably the coating on the metal such as the exhaust parts that is to keep rust from taking hold in shipment from Korea. This is common on Kias.
Answer
Worn or improperly alligned clutch bearing; Broken, weak clutch disc springs or worn disc facing; Damaged or worn pressure plate splines or surface; Damaged or worn input shaft, countershaft, or drive gear bearings. Or if it is brand-spankin-new, and has low mileage (under 500 miles) then you have to break-it-in, so make sure you drive under 50 mph for the first 500 or so miles.
