hi all,
So I'm a bit paranoid about my clutch as I've read a few horror stories about clutches burning out and taking the flywheel with them leaving massive bills. I've got a 2l diesel manual. Last couple of times Ive been in the captiva, I got out and noticed a slight burning smell. Naturally I assumed the worst and thought it was the clutch. However, maybe its some plastics or paint somewhere getting hot for the first time. I cant really tell if its a burning clutch or some plastics/paint/other within engine bay and cant identify where its coming from. Not getting it in the cabin.
The car is brand new so everything, just 300miles on it.Should I be concerned? Does the 5 year warranty offered by Chev cover a clutch? I doubt it but would be interested to know what you think.
