nathan Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 This is not the usual musty smell, it is more of a sweet smell. It is not the ethylene glycol smell, but more like a perfume/alcohol smell. The AC works okay, but the smell is a little strange. Anyone know what it might be?

Browning Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 like syrup? Heater core leaking by chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 yeah sweet smell from the heat/ac system usally means coolant leak of som kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 hey nathan, if your unsure, just bypass it for a few days. And check for wet carpet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Notchback Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Maybe you farted and the smell got stuck in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted June 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Maybe it is just residual from when the radiator was leaking. I replaced it recently, but it really doesn't smell like coolant, it smells more like finger nail polish remover or even xylene. EDIT: I just looked and the ester oil MSDS states that it has an Ether like smell. Where would the oil be leaking from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
