does it make a difference if you circulate air inside the car to drawing it in from outside?

[chrisbrown2005]

my saxo has done the same, ever since i brought it

Does a VTR even have that function lol??

Mine doesn't, just hot or cold and a choice of which vents to blow it out of :wacko:

[Sparco_Tom]

there is the slider which shuts off the vent to the engine bay

Sounds like some wires under the dash are melting on the heater matrix pipes!!! seen this before with saxo"s:y::y:

[Stevo123]

ntifreeze smells sweet, maybe your matrix is letting go? Seems to be a common problem with saxo's in general. Is your carpet wet?

[tinytim6666]

mines doin this aswell

[jinx]

Having the same problem. Seems to come and go.

Can anyone shed some light?

well mine was leaking rocker cover/cam ladders on a GTI

the spark plug wells were full with oil

engine heats up, oil burns = car stinks lol

[boyleVTR]

mines did the same. turns out was the heater matrix:(

[vtr-lad]

i had that problem but it was in a punto but it was a leakin rocker cover gaskit oil burnin on exhuast manifold which was causin a stink, also i had a blowin exhaust witch caused a stink aswell but i had smoke commin through the vents aswell, worth a look into mate.
