smell

Hi, Looking for answers to get a fix on a new problem I have encountered. I got DPF deleted as it was getting blocked and failing regens. And the car seems to run fine with no issues. It drives fine and there doesn't seem to be a problem until you start listening in and smelling exhaust fumes...

Hi. I've just returned home and on my way back the car drove really well. However, coming off a roundabout changing 2nd to 3rd gear I had no power. I changed gear again and still had no power. I got home and pulled up, I swear I could smell melted/melting rubber. On top off that it feels like...
