What's the Cause of the Burnt Smell from the Engine?
1 Answers
This odor is emitted when the anti-corrosion coatings and oil stains on the engine's exterior surface evaporate after being heated. Specific reasons: After the engine has been running for a while, its exterior surface becomes hot, especially components like the exhaust pipe. These parts are coated with various anti-corrosion treatments, which partially evaporate when heated, producing a distinct smell. Odor generation: If there are oil stains on these components, they will also evaporate when heated, creating an odor. Additionally, the engine compartment contains many plastic parts and decorative panels, which can also emit odors when heated. Don't worry; after some time, these smells will disappear as everything that can evaporate will have done so.
