Burning smell when fan is on
Hello y’all, a few days ago I was doing 4-5 WOT runs to check TD boost error. Ever since then, when I turn the fan on I get a slight burning smell. Same smell with AC on. The smell lessens when not circulating. The filters were changed very recently. I got
My 60,000 maintenance done at 55,000. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

HVAC on recirc, uses air in cabin.
HVAC on fresh air, pulls air from base of windshield. This also means and smells from engine or exhaust piping get sucked in. I will guess you are leaking some oil. Look for the leak/leaks. |

Thank you Charlie III I’ll check for leaks. There is 0 smell coming from the engine when the engine is on or off under the hood.

Can you describe the burning smell? Electrical? Oil? Carpet? They've got very different smells.
