Hey guys,
As it's been getting colder here in NZ I've started to use my heaters (98 VT Acclaim), but everytime I adjust the temperature dial thingy from cold to warm/hot, it starts smelling like curry (coolant smell) and I've noticed a faint mist coming through the vents - which causes my windscreen to fog up instantly (after I have just managed to defog it with the cold blowers running full bore). So I decided to flush the cooling system the other day (was mostly mud water), but this didn't help at all.
My A/C does sweet nothing either so I'm guessing that needs to be re-gassed? And the coolant smell - is that the heater core on its way out?
Also I've noticed my windscreen has 'runs' down it - ie as if someone's spray something on (like glass cleaner) and let it run down and dry up, without wiping it off. Except the problem is I've tried cleaning it both inside and out and these marks will not budge, at all. They won't even smudge or anything. Sometimes it looks like they're gone, but then when the windscreen fogs up you can clearly see them, and they will not go away.
Any help guys? cheers!
