Burning Clutch Smell DSG

(1/1)

Skornogr4phy:
Hi all,

This is less of a problem and more of a question.  Just got back from giving my 06 DSG GTI a good back road thrashing, and upon parking up I got that oh so familiar whiff of burning clutch.  Now as I know the DSG has a wet plate clutch, which smells different when it overheats from what I have heard.  I've got no bad indications with the car, but I was just wondering if anybody else has had this happen?

bacillus:
You sure the smell wasn't emanating from your brakes?

Skornogr4phy:
Might have been.  Didn't think I was hitting them that hard though, as it was quite greasy out.
