Volkswagen Owners Club Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 If you are smelling rubber under the bonnet then it could either be the auxiliary drivebelt and possibly tensioner that has failed. alternatively, it could also be the cambelt starting to fail, tensioner could be failing and leading to the belt moving over and contacting the timing belt cover. Either way, it would definitely need to go to a garage for further invesitigation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
