Smell of burning rubber

Featured Replies

Hi all,

Whenever I press on in my Octy vRS mk1 there is always a smell of hot rubber when I get out of the car. Despite many checks of the tyres by sniffing/temperature checks and tracking/alignment it does not appear to originate there. Does anyone have any idea what this might be? Thanks for any help thats out there...

Sounds like a possible dragging rear caliper which causes this, have a sniff of the brakes next time.
