antifreeze/coolant smell

Post by Debs »

Hi
I have a 206 cc 2004 and it is a 2.0 Ltr. The problem is when the heater is on there is a strong antifreeze type smell. Can anyone shed some light on this problem. Many thanx

Probably leaky heater matrix or plumbing to it. Is carpet wet? Does car steam up inside? Is coolant level dropping?

ps. Deleted your duplicate post.
Cheers Col.
