Hi fellas,

2017 FFRR 5.0 SVR

Runs like a Swiss watch, no issues....until i accelerate with gusto.

It idles, accelerates and stops 100%, but after you accelerate hard or with a bit of sprite, theres a faint but definitely noticeable smell of burning in the cabin that soon disappears once you go back to a 'normal' throttle.
It smells like burning engine oil. You know if you dropped some oil on an engine block that was really hot. That kind of smell.

No obvious leaks under the hood, no issue anywhere infact that i can see.

Any thoughts?

Thankyou

I have a similar issue on my SDV8, I am told it is probably an oil leak in to the V possibly from a rocker cover gasket.
I am also told to investigate is a big job as a lot of stuff has to come off. letters not necessarily in the right order

Noticed mine does the same . 2019 SV AB Dynamic Scafel Grey

Happy to say that I've not had that.....................................yet! Mike - MPx
