Hi I have a 2001 vx s pac yesterday. I noticed after about 10mins of driving it was rattling from the motor on acceleration when I got home I could smell a burning smell and the thermos were on, oil is full water is full any ideas ? It runs perfect for the first 10mins then starts to rattle and only smell when I stop

What engine?

Rattling? Ignition knock type rattle or bearing/bottom end type rattle?

Is it running hot?

Cleaned the air filter? how old is the fuel filter?

What grade oil? When was the last oil/filter change?

Sound like bottom end, but like I said only does it after about 10min of driving I just have the abs light come up and the traction light on dash no engine light

How many km, sounds a bit like timing chain.
