Re: Burning smell after fluid change
Check to see you have the proper type of diff dipstick. There are 2 different ones, 1 with a notch, and 1 without. If you have the type that a dipstick with a notch is meant for, and you use the other type, you will have this happen. Try hitting the "recirc" button and see if the smell is still there or not.
