    Those days I noticed a bad smell being in reverse & uphill (under these circumstances only). The smell is chemical, fish like and dissapear after some time ~ 1h.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks

  3. Perhaps the AC condensate drain is plugged and when that mouldy water is swished around it becomes more aromatic. Any mechanic should be able to clear it.

    The car is pretty new...2 weeks old. And I didn't use AC too much.
     
  6. Do the reverse/tail light(s) come on normally? A flicker that could point to a loose connector, the insulation might be melting and may have caused the circuit to burn open now the resulting smell to stop.
    Just a thought.

    Yes, it's working. I will report this issue to the dealer and I keep you informed. Otherwise a perfect car, here in Iasi I got a 6.8 KWh/100 on heavy traffic.
