The Sweet Smell of AntiFreeze

[Strawfordt]

Thanks to all,

How do I tell if my Cap is the updated one?

I checked at the dealer and they stated that the current part number for the cap is 996 106 44701. but they could not tell me how to tell if I have the "updated" one.

Thanks

I had an actual leak earlier this year that was alleviated by replacing the hose and the clamp. The system was belched and repressurized as well. Even after that, I still will notice a little antifreeze smell from time to time, nothing REAL strong, but I can smell it a bit....No leaking tho, maintains proper engine temperature also. I also hardly ever use the AC either.... I don't know if that has anything to do with it tho. Do you have the updated cap for the reservoir bottle? Any condensation above the cap where the rear trunk lid sits over it?

All my fans are working properly as well, radiators and exhaust.....
