Hello everyone. I recently purchased an audi A4 2011 pre facelift 1.8tfsi with 93k km on the clock. Soon I realised that the floor carpet on both front sides under the mats were wet with some kind of fluid. I wiped it with tissue and noticed that its pink so I thought about the coolant. I also noticed that when I turn on the heater it smells very funny almost like pickle and the heat level is very low even when running at max. Also the coolant level is dropping after everyday driving. I placed lots of tissue under the mats and realised that the fluid is coming from the top corner of the footwell where it meets with the bottom of center console on both sides.
Do I have a leaking heater matrix or could it be a leak in some connecting pipes? How difficult is it to replace the matrix on these models? Does it involve ripping out the dashboard or is it just done from the side panel next to the accelerator pedal? My car is a LHD
