07 2.0 Odour in cabin - Conal
I am getting an acrid odour in the cabin. This is particularly noticeable after coming off a motorway. No warning or information is apparent on the display. Any ideas?

Possibly a regeneration, it smells pretty awful when it does but you wouldn't notice at motorway speeds

OP doesn't say if his car is a diesel - if it is then a regeneration would probably be the cause. If it is petrol then it is something reason.

Could be the battery overcharging.
