Could it be that they found the leak, changed the gasket but didn’t clean up the spillage = burning off?

Thanks. Could be like that. I give it another week to try to burn it of. If the odor then still is there then back to the dealer. |

Visible smoke in that area can be exhaust from the fuel burning heater, it comes on automatically under 5 degrees C, I don't know if that is relevant in Spain just now. If you drive only a short distance and then switch off, the car needs to burn off the fuel in the heater and that produces the visible smoke. It might make its way into the cabin if there are insulation gaps etc. The smell is unpleasant and unhealthy too, one would not want it in an enclosed space. Only Range Rovers since 1988 |
