Ok... so now my alignment is off and I'm not sure how this even happened. I haven't hit anything, but I did have my tires rotated the last time I got an oil change which was about 300 miles ago.

I also noticed after driving for a little bit, my car engine smells like it's been burning something, not sure if this is normal for the S4.

Last night, I had just started my car and when I stepped out of the car, I noticed little trails of smoke coming out of the exhaust. It was about 70 degrees outside, so it didn't seem normal to me...

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Alignments go out, that why you get them redone. Bushings wear, ball joints wear, and they take a lot of abuse, just get it aligned again.

Smells like what?

What color smoke? Did it smell? Was the car hot, or cold?

 

Tech possibly spilled some oil inbetween valve cover and plastic trim crap leaking onto manifold. or your snails are leaking...cross your fingers. as for alignment, uneven wear can cause pull, happens a lot.

 

It just smells like it's been burning something. I dunno how to explain the smell. It's not a horrible smell and it doesn't smell toooo strong, but i can definitely smell something.

My car was cold when I noticed the smoke coming out through the exhaust. It was somewhat dark outside so I have no idea if it was a dark or light colored smoke.

What are snails? No, not the animal.

 

Turbos

 

does it smell kind of like sulfur / the rotten egg/ matches smell? then its just your CATs cleaning them selves outt.
