Coolant smell inside my Citroen
I recently bought this car privately and if I put the heater on to clear the screen, I can smell coolant. Can you tell me if it's a potential problem please.

Yes, because it is probably leaking from the heater matrix and if it is not simply a problem with a pipe and the matrix has to be extracted then this is a very big job.
