2015 S3 coolant smell

[Stevelolly]

Wondering if anyone else noticed this but my S3 smells of coolant . I notice it when i get home and walk around front of car to unlock garage and the garage smells of it once it's put away . I cant smell it in the car . No sign of leaks although water level has dropped to half way between max and min . Took it to Audi last week and they couldn't find anything but have put UV dye in the coolant and told me to monitor levels . It's under warranty so not immediately concerned but curious if it's common .

A few cars suffer from coolant leaks from the water pump thermostat housing. Requires changing or at least a gasket change. Just had mine done under warranty .

Looks like your about to join the long list I'm afraid.
If you can peek down the front of the engine, under the throttle housing, you might be able to spot the white dried antifreeze spots.

Thanks for replies , sounds like a fairly common issue . I'll keep my eye on it and it'll be straight back to Audi if it continues.
