Hey guys I just Drove my car to the gym and back on the way back had a bit of a funtime in it lol, well when I got home the exhaust fumes smelt... Like sort of plastic but mostly smells like shi* aha but there's no smoke? I've read the stock cats could actualy hide the problem? Someone have the same issue as me or am I just worrying bout nothing?
Sorry for the long post thanks in advance![]()

Did you allowed the car to idle for a while?....from what i read the smoke disappear when you on the move but once you are stationary a period of time then smoke present itself.
If smells like burning plastic then Im afraid it will be the damned turbo![]()
I let it idle for about 2
minutes tomorrow I'll take it for another drive and let it idle for like 10 minutes

As long as there is no smoke - NO SMOKE-NO PROBLEM
The smell is probably "Rotten egg gas" can't remember the chemical name. It is caused by over fuelling in the cat - which is simply caused by the engine cleaning out after a bit of a thrash (quick drive)
Sulpher Dioxide gas
