Hi folks,
My '92 Mk2 Golf GTI (8V) has a bit of a smell of oil (mabye fumes, not sure) from the heater.
Its not very strong, seems to come when you are using heat, but not when blowing cool air.
Is this something common in a mk2 heater ?
Is there an easy cure ?
There are no oil leaks that I can see.
I think there is a slight blow from the exhaust, as under hard acceleration I do get a very faint high-pitched sort of pinging sound, but it is very very faint.
Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Declan
