iv noticed a funny smell on the inside of my 200 tdi for the last week and decided to investigate it yesterday . to me it smells like rotting meat so i thought perhaps a mouse had crawled up inside and died or something . after taking the roof lining out and most of the plastic panels inside i traced the smell to the pillar that runs up behind the passenger side rear door ( the one that goes from the wheel arch to the roof and contains the small bolts for the outside plastic trim behind the door ). i didnt find anything dead in there but i did notice a patch of rust at the bottom of the pillar that poked a hole thro to the wheel arch . iv tried loads of smelly sprays etc down there but it still smells .
i dont think its a damp smell but the alpine windows were leaking last week untill i siliconed them up and the boot floor sound proofing was soaked but i have sinced removed that and the carpet to trace the smell .
anyone else had anything similair or can give me some advice id be gratefull cos the kids are really starting to complain now
