Burning Bag

I got a bag stuck somewhere and its burning and smelling real bad!

I tried to avoid it, but after passing the bag, looking at the rearview, there was no bag and I said...."ohhh fu*k"

anyway how ta get rid of this bag? it happened to my brothers 230k before, he left it there and he said 2 weeks later, no smell.

A box on 4 wheels
Didn't this happen to another member? Or was it a rug or carpet that time?

yea, once the bag has melted it's a tough job removing it.. I say just tough it out until it's gone. 2 weeks should do it.

wow, this has never happened to me in my life until a few months ago with my C230k as well. that's strange. i ripped the bag off and left what was stuck until it burnt off. 2 weeks that was mentioned sounds about right.

Let the exhuast get hot, then come back while its still hot and still running and wipe it off with a rag. It comes off like butta! Had this problem with my dads car, but at least those were side pipes and we didnt have to go under the car.

The car wash were I go to is really good, never a scratch, and the used different brushes for the rims and body...if you guys from new york, its on 21st street in long island city, called LAGE LMC

I hand wash my car in the summer
