burning smell when i turn the wheel
06. Sep 2011 at 13:09

ive just recently had replaced the ABS/TC ecu, well i got it reconditioned by (bba reman) as the abs light was always on and the speedo didnt work,anyway as part of the problem the power steering was intermitent but it all works fine now. the problem im having now is there is a burning smell coming from the engine from below the ecu it is more noticeable when im turning the wheel or when parking. could this have something to do with the power steering?
