Strange smell over the front wheels

[panagiotis]

Hello,

During the last few days I noticed a smell like burned rubber over the front wheels. And I think it has higher temperature on that point when I stop the car than usual... Noticeable even after a short distance with no major brake usage.

My C2 is brand new, 1100km (680 miles), what could it be? Maybe the brake pads?

Driving it hard?

[panagiotis]

Not at all. I can smell it even if I'm driving for a few miles and without pushing it too hard.

It might be something with the brakes cause it's getting worse when I use them...

maybe your brake pads are rubbing against your wheels then.

[panagiotis]

That's what I though too.

What can I do for it?

[gregwVTS]

well if they are actually rubbing on the brake discs permanently then they'll need to be re-positioned at a garage unless you can do it yourself. Either that or eventually the pads will be worn away enough to stop rubbing constantly :P .

I prefer the first one, I guess...

Thanks for your help!
