Many motorists say they like the smell of a new car. Mol, you get in the car and you rejoice in the purchase. However, over time, this flavor is interrupted by many other, less pleasant odours ... What does a modern car smell like, and how do we fight it? Gasoline smell in the passenger compartment
Gasoline smell in the passenger compartment
Almost any element of the fuel system can supply the smell of petrol in the passenger compartment. Complete verification of the fuel system is required to determine where the source of the smell is. Special attention should be given to the locations of the fuel system components (e.g. securing of fuel hoses to filter) because, as practice shows, very often they are responsible for the smell of petrol in the passenger compartment.
The smell of plastic in the salon
The strong smell of plastic is felt in new cars. Most often, it is weathered in 1-2 months, but if it is about cheap and not too high-quality plastic, the "aroma" can hold longer. In addition, the smell of plastics in the salon may be amplifying if the car is in the sun (in this case it is necessary to ventilate the car first and only then to start the movement so as not to be poisoned by harmful substances in the heat of the plastic).
The Zup of the Salon
If there is a garling in the car lounges, there can be anything from the heating in the exhaust pipe before the oil leak or the burning gasket. Besides, there's a possibility that the sun just drags off the street. To make sure that the smell is coming from the car, you should turn on the air recirculation and take it again.
The smell of antifreeze in the salon
The stench of antifreeze is evidence of a leak in the cooling system. If you feel that the salon smells of antifreeze, you should immediately check the level of the antifreeze, if necessary, and start looking for a leak (yourself or with the help of specialists).
Exhaust gas in the passenger compartment
If you can smell the exhaust in the salon, the reason doesn't have to be in your car. Maybe it's a dirty car that's coming in front of you. Try to back up or turn on the recycling system: if the smell is lost, then there's nothing to worry about. If the smell is not gone, then the problem is in the non-hermetic exhaust system of your own car, and then it's better to go to the service.
Mouldy Mouldy in the Salon
If the car smells of mould (rotting or stout), start searching for a reason with careful examination of the contents of the cabin, the boot and the glove compartment. Perhaps you once put a sandwich or a bag of oranges and then safely they forgot about them? If no sources of foul smell were found, the problem could be in the damper, accumulated under the mats. To get rid of the unpleasant smell, it's time to pull out the carpets and thoroughly dry the salon. If the smell of mold comes from the air conditioner, it means that the fungus has settled in it: it is necessary to carry out prevention and clean the system.
The smell of rotten eggs at the salon
Most likely the source of the smell of hydrogen sulfide in the salon is a malfunctioning catalyst. If you do not solve this problem, you are not only waiting for the "aroma" of the dead eggs in the cabin, but also the increased fuel consumption.
