Re: Smell after start
It is not coming from your screen wash solution is it?
I have read that some screen wash additives do not get on too well with some other types and the screen wash fluid can start to smell very nasty, like rotten eggs?

Maybe it can be this. I use only one car wash product. I will try another car wash products, thank you

Re: Smell after start
Did you disinfect the ac heat exchanger?
It will be where the smell comes from as the bugs will live on it.
A good ac cleaner bomb should sort it for A bit.

Re: Smell after start
I was reading/thinking that he had, but what better way to find out than to ask directly!
I always try to warm up and dry out the evaporator area by switching the cooling off a few miles before getting back home and demanding Lo temperature to get the incoming air to sort out that area.

I find the problem! Its smell from the exhauts. Somethink like leak from turbo... I can see little smoke behind the engine. I'm definitely coming to service.

Re: Smell after start
Every petrol car will smell like fuel when first starting it. That is normal.
The smoke is it 100% smoke or could it be steam?
