As said does it have correct mix of antifreeze, if not and it froze the waterpump possibly wouldn't move hence the aux belt would

get rather hot on the non rotating water pump pulley then smell burning rubber and no heating etc etc

Thanks Dnk i just spoke with my mechanic (his on holiday atm 😕) he told me same thing i will change antifreeze and will see if thats help
