Check if either of your foot wells are damp, If so heater matrix
RE: coolant smell!! - JackLewis_Dturbo - 02-10-2012
no they arnt, matrix was my first thought! but doesnt seem to be... thankfully!

Sure it's coolant?
If yes could be a small leak in the rad or the cap is loose and spitting it in the bay?
Or if no could just be the hot engine?
RE: coolant smell!! - JackLewis_Dturbo - 03-10-2012
pritty sure its coolant, doubt the rad is leaking as its brand spanking! not sure if the cap is letting water out...
i dont get any smell when the blowers are on cold, just when on hot?
if it was a hot engine smell why would it be coming through the matrix? surely all cars would get a smell in that case :/

matrix may have a pin hole letting you smell it?

If its only on hot then its definatly matrix
RE: coolant smell!! - JackLewis_Dturbo - 03-10-2012
im just hoping it doesnt go pop
really dont want to take the dash out!
RE: coolant smell!! - Kwik - 05-10-2012
i personally would do it now before it gets really cold

Ive got a brand new matrix sat here doing nothing not as bad to do as people think. As kwik says better sooner than later!
