If it has air con check that the drain is clear so that any condensation can run away instead of pooling (there will be a rubber tube under the car towards the rear of the engie which should be clear of obstructions) If you have a sweet smell it could be that the heater matrix is weeping slightly and allowing coolant to be evaporated into the passenger compartment. not a particularly easy fix but doable nonetheless. just a real clat to change the matrix.

techbod Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 you will also notice a button with a U turn arrow on it on the heater controls if that's on is recirculating interior air and it will fog up, it needs to be off so exterior air is drawn in Quote
