Hello

I've noticed some new smell in the cabin in my SQ5 after I floor it for like few seconds. The smell feels like really hot metal with maybe something burning on it. Not much burning at all though. Just a little. Mostly like very hot metal.
This is a new one for me. I had the 5K service about a month ago but it is probably not related. Have not looked under the hood yet. Keep forgetting about it by the time I get somewhere where I can do it.

So, the whole saying "it goes like stink" is quite literal in your case.

I see a feline in your sig pic... are you sure he didn't get stuck under the hood?

Seriously though, does it smell like burnt oil? Are you losing any oil?

Well, now I can not check it till Saturday. Just curious if anyone else noticed anything like this.
Do not think it smells like oil though. Just hot metal kind of smell.

Did you check the cig lighter ? May be it's on.

I had that after a full acceleration in my A6. It's some overspray coating burning off the exhaust from the factory. It goes away after awhile.

you will be fine after a few hundred miles of driving.

I noticed a smell but mostly when I get out the car. If I was driving harder, there is a "hot" smell.

Nothing inside though if windows are shut.

I need to ask: I noticed you´re located at South Florida so was it you yesterday (Monday Aug 11th) afternoon at Pembroke Pines dealer service?

I saw a silver SQ5 on the service floor. While I was leaving I heard the service advisor revving the car.
