why does my Genesis G70 have a strange smell coming from the exhaust

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather all necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on the vehicle.

2. Check Engine Oil

• Remove the engine oil dipstick and inspect the oil color and consistency.
  • If the oil is milky or has a burnt smell, it may need to be replaced.
• If contaminated, proceed to change the oil:
  1. Drain the old oil using an oil extractor.
  2. Replace the oil filter using an appropriate oil filter wrench.
  3. Refill with the manufacturer-recommended engine oil (check the owner's manual for specifications).

3. Inspect Coolant System

• Check the coolant reservoir for proper levels.
• If the coolant is low or contaminated:
  1. Locate any leaks in hoses, the radiator, or the water pump.
  2. Replace any faulty components.
  3. Refill the cooling system with the correct coolant type.

4. Examine Exhaust System

• Inspect the exhaust pipes and catalytic converter for any signs of damage or leaks.
• If leaks are found, replace damaged sections of the exhaust system.
  1. Use a socket set to unbolt damaged sections.
  2. Install new exhaust components and ensure all connections are secure.

5. Test and Replace Catalytic Converter (if necessary)

• If the catalytic converter is found to be inefficient:
  1. Remove the old catalytic converter by unbolting it from the exhaust system.
  2. Install a new catalytic converter, ensuring proper alignment.
  3. Torque bolts to manufacturer specifications (refer to service manual).
