there is a burning smell in the cabin if the heater is turned on. nothing is overheating, however, and all fluids are full. occasionally smoke is present.

Hi there,

Thank you for the donation.

When the smell and smoke is evident is the mixer set to inside or out side air? if inside you could be looking at a failing blower motor, if on outside air something under the bonnet may be the cause, you will need to get a mechanic to check this out with you, or check the positions of the settings and advise where it is when you smell it, also if the mechanic can smell it they may have a better idea as to where the problem is, start here.
