The smell of buring oil (HELP)
So I drove the wagon to the dump this weekend. Of course, silly kid that I
am, I drove through as much mud and water as possible. On the way home, at a
stop light, I smelled burnt oil. It was faint but definitely present.
Since then (2 days, 100 miles) the problem is still vaguely there. It has
never had this problem before. Any ideas? Otherwise, the car is running very
strong (cold air seems to make the turbo perk up).
I am taking it in for a 90,000 mile check tomorrow to get this smell
investigated and to get: brake fluid replaced, potentially new brake pads,
smogged, tuned, *hopefully* get the speedo/odo fixed, and I think that's it.
The broken light and faulty demist/washer will just have to wait!
Lord knows the piggy bank will take a beating of $1000.
Cheerfully we Audi (or is it Quattro only?) fans march forward to the
drubbing of money flowing out...Maybe Bob is right....
