Hi all, tried the search function but this one is a little bit different.
Got a 2013 1.4 8V (77bhp) Punto GBT (so it comes with the dual climate control)
When I’ve got the climate control on higher than half way I’m getting a horrible stink coming through the vents into the cabin, this disappears when the recirc is on and also if the engine is off there is no smell.
However I have checked and replaced the breather hose going from the intake to the rocker, apart from it being a little sludged up (which I clean out regularly) I’m still getting that horrible stench coming into the cab. I’m not losing coolant so I don’t believe the heater core/matrix is shot. However I’m at a loss now as to what to do. There is a little bit of oil around the throttle body but that’s it. I’ve already changed the pollen filter and it doesn’t make a difference unfortunately.
Anyone have an alternative idea that I can look into? We are wanting to trade the car in to get something bigger. However I’m not comfortable trading in a car that smells as bad as that.
Thanks in advance all.
