Strange smell
« on: 03 September 2009, 12:48:18 »

I've noticed an unpleasant smell in my car lately,
I wonder if this could be the pollen filter ?
How easy is it to change ?

It's a doddle, but you probably have a drain blocked, so have a read of this:-

Make sure the drain is clear before you put a new filter in.

I've just noticed the passenger side rear floor is wet, the front appears relatively dry, I've had several people gietting in & out of front passenger side & given the recent weather conditions they will have all had wet feet. Can a blockage in the scuttle drain cause water to get to the rear floor without soaking the front first ?

I seem to remember Tunnie had a similar problem some time back and it was to do with the rubber door seal
 May be worth giving him a shout  :y
