Where would I get the vent system cleaned?
I have a car that has a strange odor (sweet/perfumy) that's obviously under
the cowling below the wipers. When the vents/heat are on, the odor comes into the cabin. Who would I go to to take care of that? tia |

You might try lysol spray disinfectant first. Do not use bleach.... it
will ruin metal components. With car ac on at full blast spray into the vents on outside of car under wipers. You might try it first with ac in recirculate mode. If that doesn't fix the problem do it in fresh air mode. Also your dealer may have a foam to use too.

Yea I agree change the filter as long as it is a 98 or newer most models have them. -- tacomatrd00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tacomatrd00's Profile: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...?userid=408864 View this thread: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=532521 http://www.automotiveforums.com |

Any chance the sweet odor you're smelling is leaking antifreeze? Good
luck. |

Sometimes the airconditioner evaporator drain hose becomes plugges and the
moisture won't drain and mold builds up in the evaporator causeing it to stink, there is a product sold to kill the smell and mildew,you spray or squirt it into the vents and the cowl vent. most auto part stores sell it Tom "Daryl Herkin" > wrote in message . 167... >I have a car that has a strange odor (sweet/perfumy) that's obviously under > the cowling below the wipers.

Again, it's something in the area underneath the cowling. If I pull the cowling off and hit recirc, it doesn't come thru the vents anymore. If the cowling is on and recirc is on, it still comes through. |

2006? Tell the dealer to fix it. If you mess it up you could void your
warranty in some respect.
