Hi all, relatively new D5 owner. Anyone experienced white chalky residue on bonnet lining? Noticed a bit of a burning smell in traffic on a short run today and popped the bonnet to check. Picture attached, very central and back of bonnet near to windscreen. Thanks!

Hi Ben, I have been thinking about your problem. It looks to me that the screen washers have had a problem that hose and cable should not be exposed. I was wondering whether there is a leak and the concentration of the screen wash is a bit strong. Some screen washes have a residue of soapy substance in that settles in the tank . I have looked at mine there is a little of what you have too which is clearly from the screen wash. I would take the cover off and have a look.
