Took it to the dealership before Christmas and they diagnosed the problem causing both smells as a leaking heater hose union which they tightened but couldn't completely seal. Currently waiting for the new hose to come in and be fitted so will let you know if this fixes the problem.

I didnt think the Evoque used water for the heater, isnt the heater a PTC electric heater or is that just on the diesel
