My Car Stinks

[Bobdope2002]

TBF i never noticed this on my 1.8 K4 but in stationary traffic, but my 1.6 hums of stale water checked everything over Defo No HG whatsobob

I dunno if this is a normal thing for the 1.6's

have you used screen wash or just water ? as that will stink if just water and its stale.

Screen wash bud robbed a load from work

it just smells like warm stale water

Maybe a small leak in the heater matrix?

where bouts in the engine bay are the pipes

[big_wasa]

matrix is behind the dash on most cars.

Normal to find damp carpets if the matrix goes. Aslong as its had plenty antifreeze in the coolant I would doubt its the matrix in a mk2.

Look for blocked drains down from the roof and boot.

nothings damp

its just from the engine bay it stinks
