Funny smell from heater...

:S

Only happens sometimes, smells musty, almost a chemical smell.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Could be you alternator, mine was honking of electrical burning but it was very faint in the early stages.

Use the Air Con a lot? All of mine have done it where i've just switched the a/c off straight away when i've stopped somewhere. The moisture in the evaporator sits there and doesn't dry out and then it starts to smell, theres treatments you can get to kill off the bacteria making the smell.

A new pollen filter at the same time usually helps too. I've had it done under warrenty a few times before, usually comes back after a while tbh.
