What does it smell like??

Im imagining an asian supermarket on a hot summers day..

in my wifes car smelt like someone took a piss in the airbox

yeah a little bit like an asian market, but not that extreme. its more closer to Latino CRX's description. its annoying as hell though.

To stop the smell coming back turn the aircon off and leave the fan running approx.a minute before you turn the engine off.If you do that every time the pissy smell shouldn't come back.

yeh ive been told this aswell but if u have mould build up somewer in ur airvents and airbox's, u should clean it out due to either way ur still suckin up bacteria's up ur nose ..

mould will just keep on buildin up if not cleaned...

we do that everytime we use the air con, but the smell is different and when the car is idling or not accelerating the smell isn't there.

if you go ouside the car, near your wiper you will see couples of holes along the plastic cover. just spray on the holes. and it should be last for 3-4 months
