    Really really strong toxic melting plastic type smell from the circled area

    Can smell it in the cabin also

    Help?

    Possibly could be a regen. I know they can smell like burning plastic when they are doing it as the exhaust gets really hot

      Engine bay is red hot, which would back up that theory.

      Hopefully that’s all it is [emoji1694]

                    Have you had a good look down and up from the bottom to see if there's anything caught/stuck/melted etc?

                        Had a look with the torch on the phone, can’t see anything obvious

                        It does smell exhaust related, as the snell lingers long after engine is cool
