Why is my Vauxhall Zafira Life emitting a burning smell?

I recently purchased a used Vauxhall Zafira Life and have noticed a strong burning odor coming from the engine. It seems to happen randomly and at times when the car has been idling for a while. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Hi Rosie, a burning smell from your car can indicate an issue with your engine or transmission. I recommend bringing your car to a mechanic for a thorough inspection. They will be able to determine the cause and provide the necessary repairs.

Hey Rosie, it's possible that a leak in your engine or transmission fluid could be causing the burning smell. I suggest checking your fluid levels and topping up if necessary. If the issue persists, it's best to have a professional take a look at your car.

Hi Rosie, another potential culprit could be a faulty electrical component such as a wiring harness or fuse. It's important to have this checked as soon as possible, as electrical issues can be dangerous. I recommend taking your car to a certified mechanic for an inspection.
