Lambda sensor, huh? Where exactly is that located, and what kind of symptoms did you have before it got really bad?

Yeah, lambda sensor. I'm no expert, but I remember the smell getting worse, and the engine light stayed on. I ended up taking mine to a workshop. Maybe it's better to get it checked?

Thanks! I'll check the sensor. It ended up costing me 375€ to get it fixed. Appreciate the help!

I had something similar with my GT86. Engine light and a weird smell. Maybe it's the lambda sensor? I'm not sure, but did you check the exhaust pipe?
