I noticed a similar smell when I took one home for an overnight test drive last year, the sales person told me it was just the "rubber and cleaning products settling underneath the bonnet"Current:

Normal for a new car. You are bedding in the brakes & the hot engine / exhaust is burning off any greasy remnants that might be on there. The cat con will stink for a bit too. Suggest you drive up a mountain & get it nice & hot & it will all burn off at once.Originally posted by Ashoz85 View PostAnyone else noticed a burning brake/clutch/exhaust smell on their new dsg cars? Mine only has 70 kms on it so I think it's just the components wearing in but wanted to see if anyone else noticed it?
The plastics in the interior will be out-gassing too so leave the windows down as much as possible.carandimage The place where Off-Topic is On-Topic

So the inevitable happened today, 3 week old comfortline and some germ has dinged my door, looks to be the classic sh@t head opening their door without care and of course not leaving a note or anything. Sourcing quotes at the moment but it appears it may not be able to be paintless dent repaired. Sad day, so disappointed

I have just ordered the LED taillight plug and play kit from car systems. Has anyone ordered this yet and if so how did you go? Picks would be great also.
Just a bit worried as it cost me $1200 AU
