How many miles have you done so far? might just be a running in thing.

Nick · 20th July 2006, 02:26

over 2000 miles now... too soon to hit the high speeds you think!?

Na, was pushing it after 1500, no smell though, maybe something is touching the block

If it is strong and persists, get it checked.

nah, never noticed any extra smells at high speeds, 7000 km's now starting from last winter... not that much yet

Greetings from Finland
