Engine

[Tino]

I thought it was just me (and was hoping it wasnt my car) but the fact of the matter is I am smelling something burning. I don't think its the clutch (hopefully) maybe oil on it though idk. And I looked under the hood and am hearing like a ticking sound... Doesn't sound like it belongs there.:help

maybe you just need to change your oil...

Check your drawers. If there's a brown stripe, let us know.

not necessarily, you can here the injectors going on almost all cars. tino, if you just changed your oil recently maybe you spilled a bit somewhere and it's just burning off.

BUT, all that is just thinking positive. Get your car warm, stop it and pop the hood. Look for faint traces of smoke. check all fluids and check all hoses.

Maybe this ticking is valve clicking... how's your timing belt?

How much did you pay for your car, Tino?
