Stinky Felicia..eggy smell in and around my car..it's pretty horrid. What's the cause? Catalytic convertor? Expensive? Air bag warning light on too.. darn car

Screenwash? Can smell god awful sometimes, stick ya nose in the bottle, see if its honking.

Get your charge rate checked if the airbag light is on, can be a pre cursor to overcharging, unless your battery has been flat.

I think the smell is beyond screenwash..it's enough to make passers by comment about the horrible smell, fortunately most of them don't realise it's my little car!

I did just fit a CD player so that might have upset the electrics and the air bag light.

Ta for your comments

Maybe a cat ****ed on the wheels or something.. stinks like ****

Yep, sounds like the battery is gassing.

It will be the battery overcharging.

I have just started experiencing this smell as well. I seem to get a strong scent of it when i use the windscreen washers. Do I just need to clean out the reservoir? Or is it likely to be the battery and I'm just imagining it when i use the washer jets

Catalytic convertor, mine smells, but not all the time.

right you clever lot it was the battery over charging! New alternator and battery today and empty pockets! Air Bag warning light still on, but I guess I might need a Skoda dealer to zap it with their computer or something. Thanks for your comments y'all. xxx

Yeah the light will need clearing, where are you? Might have someone local with VAG COM that will oblidge.

Maybe you ran a cat over and its body is rotting in your engine bay somewhere...

Happened to me once - after driving down Devon lanes - turned out I had got horse **** on the catalytic converter - ok after a while when it had burnt off

No that smell is the battery overcharging

You must get the voltage regulator replaced.

Air bag and radio going funny is the first sign

You do not need a new replacement alternator , it is just the regulator

I have seen it blow the battery up and acid get in to the ECU so best thing to do it get it done straight away , dont get ripped off by dealers either , it is JUST the regulator

regulators £15 (includes new brushes wihch are seated in the bottom) that from butts there is a catalogue on this site i think in *pdf*

The skoda has gone...problem solved. Bought a new Proton Savvy..nice little car..starts in the cold and doesn't overheat, unlike the skoda!!

yes but you must have spent about
