Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Feb 16, 2014, 10:51 PM Post #2 of 3 (1489 views) Re: bad smell Sign In Not sure what to suggest so just questions: Does this happen with heat only request and not with any other? Does it all work properly otherwise? Will it dissipate some with prolonged use? IDK, If you wish to dig into it check coolant level and for an drips coming from heater case usually onto passenger's side floor if heater core leaking. That near always has a distinct odor. Cabin air filter if equipped replace or check at least. Could probably pull out blower motor for a view inside or if motor or wires nearby look overheated OR rodent nest debris. Probably can only look around if everything is working?

You could have an engine oil leak dripping onto exhaust so the air intake sucks in an oil burning smell. You could also have an animal that crawled up into the heater and died. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
