XKR smell
I just bought a Select Edition ’06 XKR with 16,000 miles on it. The car is in perfect shape and runs great. However, when I accelerate hard (foot to the floor), there is a smell that comes into the cabin. It’s a burning oil or rubber (no, it’s not the tires!) type smell. It doesn’t occur during normal driving, only under hard acceleration.
The service manager at the dealer tells me that the smell is the catalytic converter burning off sulfur and that this is normal. His explanation makes sense but I am still skeptical. I never experienced any smell with my XK8 when I drove it hard. Anyone else have this experience or have any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jon
