Burning smell after new timing belt

[snigma]

Got the timing belt replaced by dealership. Sometimes, I smell something burning (like handbrake left on by a driver in front of you).

Could this just be the new belt smell?

No, new belts dont smell. If its smelling something is wrong, either its hitting something or the bearing isnt working.

it could be any of the belts since other than the p/s one you have to remove the other two (if you have a/c, if not than just 1 belt) to get to the timing belt.

take it back to the dealer have them find out what happened..

It must have actually been someone in front of me, no smell from my car.

I always get nervous when I smell stuff driving around, but usually it's other people's cars lol
