2014 XC70 D5 - gas smell in cabin
Just taken ownership of a 2014 XC70 D5 with 188k miles - noticed a strange smell coming into cabin when driving slowly (sub 20mph), the closest thing I can describe it as is a natural gas/mineral-y smell.
When up to speed, it disappears, presumably because whatever it is is blow away from the car at speed. It's far more noticeable when warm with no obvious odour on the outside of the car.
It does need the air con regassing as it's hissing away when AC is activated with no cool air, so will start with that and take it from there. Worth noting it smells with AC on or off. I'll check the cabin air filter this weekend, but would have thought that would smell regardless of speed/load.
Any pointers / experience very welcome! Thanks.
