mobius Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Any ideas had the car over 2 years now and have had various smells come through sometimes a chemically smell but mainly a sweet/ sour smell. I thought it was antifreeze and feared the worst ( may still turn out to be that), but not losing any coolant carpets are bone dry and don't smell. I have sniffed outside the car at the black plastic cover where the air enters (where the wipers come through) and can smell faintly the same smell. Was wondering if maybe something got in here and has died, so thinking of removing and having a look inside to see if anything. if not any other ideas? I have used an air con reconditioner spray and helped for a few days but back again. Air con was recharged and inspected last year, no probs there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Didn't you become a police officer? Yep, three years later I was in Greater Manchester Police. Wearing the uniform with pride and pushing people down the stairs..!! If you are shocked by the dog kack, you'll be more shocked by the super glue on the windscreen wipers, more dog kack under the door handles, and my favourite of pushing two potatoes up the exhaust of said Cavalier.

Havard Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Nope not shocked expect nothing less Excellent. You really dont like Cavaliers do you I wish you had video of the neighbour trying to get in his car. This was 1990 and video was not readily available. To be fair, the guy was a serious AH. I now look back on my previous misdermeanors with a certain amount of regret and disappointment................I don't know where he moved to.. H.
