Rotten Egg Smell?

SDAlexander8 · Sep 22, 2019

When I used CRC Turbo and Intake valve cleaner about a month ago it smelled like sulfur coming out of the exhaust. It’s nothing to be worried about, pretty sure it happens when unburnt fuel gets into the exhaust.

Good to know. I am at around 2400 miles now, the smells seems to have disappeared.

I never had a rotten egg smell picked up the car with 10 miles on it.

Are you burning the clutch maybe?

My guess would be catalytic converter. I've heard of clogged cats smelling like rotten eggs which would be strange since it's new.

When my car was new, I had the sulfur smell almost every trip after backing into the driveway.

Now days, at 15k miles, i only get the smell if I am driving hard prior to backing in. Don't worry about it, it will go away. And if it doesn't or is very severe, warranty!

Perhaps this is a coincidence, but this is the second time I pull up and smell what appears to be 'rotten eggs'. I did a quick search and saw a few possibilities. Im wondering if anyone else has experienced this smell after driving for a bit.

I've got a 2019 Si, I am at around <1200 miles.

happened to me for 4-5 months and 3-4K miles. Now it's basically gone.
