I'm in a 2005 S55. When I hammer the throttle I get a slight wiff of a burnt smell in the cockpit. Is that normal. No smell any other time, only when I lay into it.

Maybe burnt fecal matter? Chk ur shorts J/K.... Could be belt slip causing burning odor as SC'r engages coming thru air vents etc..

Soylent Green

Yeah that makes sense, I mean the belt slipping part.

Since you like to hammer it

You might also want to change

the Supercharger oil as it is most

likely the original oil from the factory


Thank-You

Good thinking D.B. but the guy I got it from within the last three years replaced the pulley bearing, belts, blower coolant pump, and oil. Must just be the belt slipping a bit.

Try a better non slip belt I think "Gator" belts makes 1 for this eng... Not sure on this maybe 1 of the reg's in your forum will chime in

Soylent Green

Thank you I will look into the Gator belt.

I had the same problem and got rid of it with changing supercharger oil

Thanks, I think I will start with changing the supercharger oil. This belt has less than 15k on it and I think it should be good. I'll look into changing the oil and then update.

I would also check for any leaks

on any lines / seals

around / on the supercharger

Might be a very small pinhole

that on WOT may spray a

small amount of oil which

is what you are smelling


Thank-You

Thanks for the tip D.B. I will consult the star service library and see if I can figure out how to check for this. I have a fair amount of mechanical experience but this car will be a challenge. Thanks again for the encouragement.
