Hi All,

 

This morning, after a 120km travel, I've parked my Superb 2.0 diesel 150 ps and I've noticed a kind of burnt plastic smell pluse the ventilation fan was on and stayed on for quite some minutes.

I've found this topic on the Octavia mk III section:

I hope that this is the same here on my Superb... Anybody experienced something similar?

The car by the way is just 5k km "old" and I got a check of the levels of the liquids just 2 weeks ago... So it would be rather strange an issue there...

 

The only thing I'm a bit wondering about is why the DPF needed an active injection of diesel. I thought that with such "long" distances (120km) the DPF could work in passive mode as explained in the thread linked above.

 

Thanks for your comments, answers!

Cheers

This is normal and involves the regeneration of the Diesel Particulate Filter DPF, follow this link for more information. 

My new diesel smells like burning rubberand /or thefan stays on after engine is turned off
