so, we let the engine cool down and went fishing instead of 4WD. my friend told me that it has happened once before when he was climbing a steep hill on the road.
when we arrived back home I opened the bonnet again but the temperature was ok this time and there was no smell at all - after a 2h run on the motorway.
so, at this stage I don't know what to think: maybe old transmission fluid (the car was recently serviced though), maybe flawed thermostat. what do you think?
have a nice weekend, cheers, axel
