plastic bag

[themoneysh0t]

Hello All,

Yesterday I was driving home and went over a plastic bag which was on the road, I didnt see it come out the back end so Im assuming its somewhere underneath my car. When I got home I did a check around all 4 wheels, the engine bay and a check underneath (without raising it) and couldnt see the offending bag. This morning I started my car and let it warm up as usual and I could smell melthing/burning plastic but still no sign of the bag

any ideas as to where it might be caught inside the car?

thanks guys

melting/burning would mean its probably wrapped around the exhaust somewhere. Have a look around there

sweet, will do

but if i cant find it, it wont have any major detrimental effects will it?

nah it wont. i drove over a bag a while ago. it stuck onto the exhaust pipe and melted. it stunk for a few days but the heat practically evaporated all the plastic and after a few days only a stain was left on the exhaust

Plastic bags always stick to exhausts and they stink...

If you can, jack the car up, find the bag and pull off as much as you can... (wait till the exhaust is cold tho lol)...

After that, get some sand paper and try to get the rest of it off... Will make the exhaust look a bit messy but will get rid of the burning smell...
