I have noticed since day one a funny smell around the CRD. I only smell it outside the jeep. I was thinking it was just some new engine smell but after 5000 miles it is still there. I only notice it while it is running. The best I can describe it is that it smells like bubbles. You know the kind you get the kids to play with. Anyone else notice this or am I just crazy.

Antifreeze? |

I have checked the antifreeze levels and havn't noticed a drop yet. And I think that NUT fell completely off a while back so I shouldnt have to worry about that anymore. 
Maybe I should check my wiring--someone posted a pic not long ago about a misplaced harness that was getting hot and I have never checked for that myself. Man I really hope its not melted wires

Burning wires could be a sweet like smell, I checked last night. |

It could be that 'chemical like' smell from the exhaust when the engine is idling and your outside it. Also, my rear swing gate seal smells like garbage every time I open it - it's the rubber seal itself making that weird smell. |

The CRD exhaust does smell different than a regular diesel and the smell hangs around after shut down. I assume it has something to do with the catalytic converter. |

I guess it is the exhaust after all. Just that no one I have asked seems to think it smells like bubbles. Guess my sniffer is confused. So what does it smell like? I still say bubbles. But it does not smell like diesel exhaust. |

The Surgeon General has determined that sniffing exhaust is bad for your health and may also cause an addiction to online forums.
