Hydie Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Well basically my heaters are smoking not major but enough for me to turn them off and there is a slight smell of burning while they are on, the heater does heat the car fully like it always has but just lately there has been major condensation issues. I have also noticed in the engine bay that one of the hose's from the heater matrix has been leaking onto the engine, I have also checked the foot wields to see if there is any coolant leaking but its bone dry. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 does sound like a leak but the smoke - would you say it smelled more like exhaust, firesmoke, or more like mist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't really say just smells, I would assume it's misty as the smoke is white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 if you had to describe the smell... what would it smell like? I wonder if the seals are going around the injectors and the vapours of the combustion are leaking out and drawing into the cabin...?

stef123 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 It could be the heater motor or the heater motor resistor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydie Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 My misses seems too think it smells sweet like toffees, I'm going to have another look over tonight check all pipes if they are looking fine time to get it looked at a garage.
