as mentioned on other topics, new foresters (most of them?) have burning rubber smell inside the cabin when engine is hot. this is supposevly from protective coating on the engine that is factory sprayed to protect it during transport.
authorized dealer claims one shoul not worry about it and that it will go in few tousand kilometers, but idenpendent subaru mechanic i visited recommends cleaning (washing ) the engine as it won't smell any more and because he says in a while engine will be all dirty from dust (this coating is very sticky and will absorb lots of dirt over the time).
any experience with this method?
