Re: Burnt Engine Coolant Smell
I just talked to a service tech at the Toyota dealer, and he told me the smell is present because it is a vented cooling system. He said that when you turn your engine off, it immediately heats up more than when it was running, and the coolant system vents coolant to the reservoir, and the smell is coming from the vent in the reservoir. Basically, this is a normal occurance. He also did state that this does not happen all the time, as has been my experience. Hope this helps.
