Garethp Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Hi all, new to the group and have an issue with wife’s A1. Had to top up coolant bottle twice in 3 months. Done normal head gasket checks and under bonnet too but nothing. Only thing to note is a mild curry smell when heater is on full and occasional misting of windows. Workmate suggested heater matrix and wondered how big a job it is on the A1 . 2011 1.6 tdi Cheers and welcome any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
