Hello, dear motor-talkers! Yesterday I tried to free my little Smart from his parking space filled with snow. Of course the wheels immediately went hopelessly crazy. However, since I didn’t have my mobile folding snow shovel with me (), I still wanted to try it with gentle back and forth weighing… unfortunately unsuccessful. Since time ran out and I urgently had to go to the service, unfortunately also the frustration rose. Frustrated and in the hope that I did not do doc But instead of moving, I suddenly noticed a biting stench, which spread out in the interior. Shocked and to catch at least the next bus, I immediately broke off the maneuver and turned off the engine. Then, of course, the big riddle guesses began in the back-stitch, where this stench might have come from. My first thought was the tires. But could d he rubbers already reach such a temperature after such a short time of turning through on cold ice/snow that they start to stink? My next thoughts then became worse and worse… Gears/converters… The most interesting thing about the thing, however, took place only today. I was traveling today with my father and his Mitsubishi ASX (manual circuit) and we also got stuck. Even after a short time, after the wheels went crazy, I took almost exactly the the same smell true as yesterday with my Smart. So it’s the tires that cause such a smell even on ice-cold snow at minus temperatures after a few seconds of flipping?
