Otoko Neutral Newbie August 19, 2011 Share August 19, 2011 could be due for oil change or oil leakage causing burning smell on other engine components~ whichever u still need a workshop check~ if its aircon issue, consider a compressor change liao~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFME Neutral Newbie August 25, 2011 Share August 25, 2011 It is only during REALLY EXTREME CASES that the high rev cause the smell. When I mean extreme cases, I'm talking about track conditions and cases at the blink of engine failure which I can quite safely assume is not the case for you. Typically, the smell is caused by 3 things (excluding the cases above) from cheapest to most expensive 1) Dirty Air System (ie, A/C system is contaminated with dirt and/or bacterial) Solutions: a) Remove any air or smell purifiers you are currently using for at least a month to see if causes residue to be left behind in the A/C system. b) Change your A/C (pollen) filter c) Put Pandan Leaves & Charcoal in the car to absorb as much of the smell as possible d) Use A/C hygiene spray to purge the air system. 2) Clogged A/C discharge pipe a) Unless you know where it is, how to do it and have the right tools like a compressor, get your mechanic to purge the discharge pipe. It is often stuck causing a build-up of water and thus the rotting smell. 3) Contaminated Compressor a) Often, residue from air purifiers (cheapo ones and those not suitable for cars) get stuck there along with tons of other nonsense. Pending on the model of your car, this may cost quite a bit but may be worth it in the long run as excessive dirt may lead to pre-mature failures. Try out the first before the other 2 as, from experience, it solves 60% of the cases within a month or so. Hope this helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rongshu Neutral Newbie August 25, 2011 Share August 25, 2011 My latio sometimes also have similar smell only during hard acc around 3k rpm. sent to TC and let them test. but during test drive didn't have such smell. I guess it is the clutch, maybe it is slipping during hard rev. Although my latio is cvt, there is also a clutch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it is the clutch, maybe it is slipping during hard rev. Although my latio is cvt, there is also a clutch. Unless it's REALLY BAD, most of the time the smell is due to the aircon (please also check that the A/C is at internal mode, the picture of a car with a circular arrow INSIDE the car and NOT external, picture of a car with arrow pointing from outside to inside of the car. Anywaz, from experience, the A/C compressor of the Latio (especially the older models) seems to be their "weak point". My aircon man replace an average of 3 a month...
