2009 GL320
GL320 smell and low fuel economy
Hello everyone! Hoping someone can shed some light on an issue I have...
Its a 2009 GL320 bluetec. Recently tackled the oold cooler seals and replaced the old orange seals. Have just under 100k miles. After putting it together, car started and runs, drives fine. However, two issues I am concerned about:
1 - the mpg is very low, like 14 on the highway (usually got up to 28)
2 - an acidic/acetone like smell from the exhaust.. will burn your nostrils if you try to get a closer whiff of it...
Any ideas?
