RScab Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 What's the location of the smell - interior - dash - fusebox area - under bonnet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian71 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Are the carpets wet under the front footwells (heater matrix leaking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim-mk5 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 its in the interior but it comes and goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim-mk5 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 i have noticed a little dampness in the front passenger foot well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian71 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Might be worth checking for small leak in the heater rad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian71 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 My mk5 when i pulled the carpets out had stains on the floor under the passenger footwell,i have got a new one to fit before the car goes back together. (approx £15.00 online) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RScab Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Do you get the smell when using the heaters or Aircon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allblue Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Curry smell is leaking anti freeze. Heater matrix likely culprit as mentioned above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
