Mend Vauxhall Zafira Smoke Burning Rubber

My new Zafira emits smoke from exhaust and smells of burning rubber?

Whats wrong with my car? After collecting my new car from my dealer I drove home nine miles. On parking up there was a really strong smell of burning rubber with smoke out of the exhaust.

Vauxhall Vauxhall Zafira Vehicles, Cars Smoke Burning Rubber

If it is a diesel it is probably the DPF filter being cleansed. Perfectly normal. Just take it for a long run to allow it to finish the cycle. Or take it for a shorter run and keep it in a lower gear.

If it is a diesel, lots of short runs will tend to clog up your Diesel particulate filter.

If it is a petrol, the catalytic converter will pong for a while.
