Heidfirst 1,014 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 water pump? I got intermittent white smoke on acceleration when mine was going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichT180 0 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thanks for that, do you think the water pump could be causing the belt to rub thus causing the smell of burning rubber too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heidfirst 1,014 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 sorry, I don't know.My conjecture was that under hard acceleration higher pressure somewhere was allowing water to pass a seal.Strangely enough it also seemed more noticeable when accelerating around a bend (e.g. from a junction) than straight.

I can also smell rubber when I get out. Any ideas?Mine does exactly the same and my engine has covered 10,000 miles. Also with a hint of blue smoke. Burning rubber smell seems to be at o.s.r.
