Hi

I got an Audi A4, 2007 S-line TDI. More or less all the time after driving I can feel bad smell coming out of tyres or wheels or from that area. Nothing is coming on the alarming display to be fixed. However, I can't feel any bad smell by sitting inside the car.

Please can someone, anyone advice me on this issue

Many thanks

You don't feel any pull in the wheel do you, either while driving or braking? Seems that at least the earlier A4s have suffered from seized brake calipers. There's a chance that could be happening (and you didn't specify front or rear, so if it's rear it could be a seized caliper and you wouldn't feel it in the steering wheel).

I feel a pull while braking & feel more bad smell when I brake more. Strong smell comes from right front and left rear wheel....
Thanks for your replies
