It goes away, then you will miss it, kinda like a new car smell. A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

root Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Yeah, that's a new engine smell. Pretty nasty if you ask me. I'm kinda glad my smell is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zahm618 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Thank you for this information i was worried before now it's happening with my 2016 Fj-09 Black colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
root Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Yep. Happens with nearly all new engines. Cars don't seem as noticeable since you are in a filtered cabin but it's still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpress Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Usually it's the CAT making those smells. It'll go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member wessie Posted December 14, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted December 14, 2015 Usually it's the CAT making those smells. It'll go away. plus lacquer and protective wax burning off - although the latter applies to cars more as they are shipped across seas and parked on quays for months This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

FastJockey09 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Did the smell ever go away? I bought a used 2015. It has about 3600 miles on it and I get this "melted plastic" smell when I'm stopped at intersections, etc. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member micah2074 Posted November 12, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted November 12, 2018 My 2015 with 50,000 miles does that when I've been riding in a good rain. Has since it was brand new. I know because it poured on me on our first trip home. Let’s go Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
