Chris Bailey Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Is it from the exhaust? There is sulphar in exhaust gases that can cause odor if it isnt clearing properly out of the catalytic converter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Littler left his egg sandwich under the seat. No in fact Mr Bailey is correct if you have cats fitted still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 No cats just 3inch 1st and second cat and 4inch hks ti exhaust Must be the sandwich then! Check the charging voltage is around 13.8 and not just at idle, also at high revs. As mentioned by someone else you can get an egg smell from a battery, but normally only if its producing excess gas.

Shane Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Daft question, but are you sure the smell was from your car and not one in front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supraleeturbo Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) No one was in front and it had a new battery about 7months ago Edited August 13, 2014 by Supraleeturbo (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris88 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 The classic rotten eggs smell is the gas Hydrogen Sulphide and you will get it from a battery that is charging properly if the fluid level is low and the top of the plates are exposed regardless of the age of the battery.
