Title: Strange smell in the cabin
Post by: danzigfan on 23 September 2011, 03:38:59

Good morning to all, I went to work at 02:30, 50 miles to get there and after some 15 miles strange smell started to.come into the cabin. I can't describe or compare it to anything I know but it's just like I'm carrying around some medical stuff, such a clean sharp odor maybe with some freshly done metal smell in it....I thought it's HBV but no coolant is missing, I had heating on eco, 22 degreess and drove arround 100 mph all the time on motorway. The odor is still present in the cabin now. Anyone knows what makes that smell? Thanks in advance

I got home with air con and no strange smell at all, still no coolant leak, could it be something wrong with heater matrix?

I would say its either the cat on the exhaust or a stale pollen filter

I would say your air con system needs cleaning
a can of Fog like spray, can be bought from all good car factors around £10-15 iirc

Check there is nothing stuck to the cat, many a plastic bag stuck to mine over the years scaring the pants off me!
