Sh*t! That Was Scary!!!
Discussion
Evening all,
none of you will be surprised that the only car (out of 3) in our household is working through this harsh weather : The S3.
Started it up this morning, as usual, first time. Was surprised at how dry the car was as it's been outside for ages and been used everyday. Even the rear screen was dry for once.
Anyway, a couple of minutes into the journey, a funny smell in the cabin shortly followed by some really attractive grey smoke from the glovebox!! Quickly, the car was like a smokebox, so I panicked a bit (well....a lot) and took my seatbelt off ready to bail out. Funny thing is, everything was working fine and the smoke quickly dissipated within a couple of minutes. Anyone else had this before? I'm guessing it's just moisture meeting the fusebox and creating a bit of a fuss. Anyway, the car has been perfect since and even on the journey back from work with lights, heater and wipers on full, it didn't recur.
Thanks in advence for any suggestions.
