Good good! Im almost sure now its the clutch slipping ever so slightly due to water splashing onto it....I only get the smell when the roads wet and I try to spin the tires. I have new gaskets and know burnt oil smell. Oh well, if I go stage 3 I'll most likely have to upgrade the clutch.....again. Or does an RS4 clutch handle stage 3?

 

if it won't handle stage 2 which you have now do you actually think it will handle more power?? oh and by the way the clutch is shielded from water... ud have to drive through a puddle that came half way up your doors for water to get in there... you just treated you clutch like **** so its treatin you like ****... you prolly didn't break it in right... we all know how you drive.....

 

I'm going to go with that smell being you tires. I notice something like this during a snow storm and I was tring to back into my parking spot. I'm very sure the tires were spinning on wet/snowy pavement but the smell did not smell like burning tires. But after I got parked I went to each tire and for sure it was coming from the tires. I think it's a mix of water vapors and burning tires that gives off a smell similar to burning up a clutch. We are all used to the smell of burn outs on dry pavement which is likely a different smell. I would not worry about it unless you got little tread on your tires.

 

hmmm...ok
