The 7 Deadly Car Smells And How To Fix Them…"},"content":{"rendered":"

Imagine this: You wake up to a perfect morning. Coffee\u2019s already brewing, you\u2019ve had the perfect breakfast, and you\u2019re feeling pretty great. You head out of your house, feeling ready to tackle your day. Until your car just ruins it.<\/p>\n

You step into your car and find it smells absolutely putrid. Not only is the rest of your day ruined, but now you also have a smelly car on your hands that you don\u2019t even know what to do with.<\/p>\n

Maybe this has never happened to you, or maybe as you\u2019re reading this, you\u2019re in your car right now nodding and curled up in corner of the backseat – crying at the pain you\u2019ve had to endure from those smells.<\/p>\n

Either way, these smells are not good.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, don\u2019t misunderstand me. The point of today\u2019s blog post is not \u2018How To Make Your Car Smell Awesome.\u2019 If that\u2019s what you\u2019re interested in, you probably should not even be reading this. But to save you time, just buy an air freshener. There you go. Done. Problem solved.<\/p>\n

What this blog post is <\/em>for, however, is how to identify 7 unusual smells that tend to pop up in your car that should raise an alarm and let you be alert to the potential dangers your car faces. Whether or not the smell is rotten is beside the point, although some of them may truly be horrid-smelling. However, you have to admit, who wants to have a smelly car?<\/p>\n

If you are a mother or father, would you want your baby to have poop in his diaper the whole day as you\u2019re out and about? Of course not.<\/p>\n

Well, since your car probably is <\/em>your \u2018baby\u2019 as well, you\u2019d want it to radiate a scent of excellence and purity \u2013 just like a fresh, spongy, pale white baby\u2019s butt after cleaning his diaper.<\/p>\n

Simply put: if you do not know the cause of your problems (aka the smells and what they represent), you will not be able to solve them. These 7 Deadly Car Smells will help shed light on some of the potential doom your car might be facing.<\/p>\n

Every car has a certain smell. From ones that are brand new and smell nice, to ones that have been used by everyone and their cousin and smell like a barnyard. But while these are usually scents that persist, often times a certain smell can only appear in some situations. And no, I\u2019m not talking about the smell that comes from burnout. Although every car enthusiast loves the smell of burning tires, what this article is here to discuss are the smells that indicate something is clearly wrong with your vehicle.<\/p>\n

Gasoline<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The classic smell of petrol\u00a0or that of a petrol\u00a0station can indicate that there is a fuel leak somewhere in the system. Old cars are much more prone to this sort of problem because they use carburetors, a dated piece of technology that was replaced by fuel injection some 20 odd years ago. Talk about development. Make sure to check all fuel hoses and vents in your fuel system and replace any bad ones that are leaking or may have gone brittle.<\/p>\n

Explosion<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Alright, explosions don\u2019t typically have a \u2018smell\u2019 per se, but just imagine for a second how a gas station would smell like if it were about to explode (you\u2019ve probably seen it in the movies). This kind of \u2018smell\u2019 usually means that gear fluid is leaking from<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

the transmission case, transfer case, or even from the differential housing. Expect the smell to be sulfur-y, because nearly every oil on sale uses sulfur compounds as a lube for the gears.<\/p>\n

As with anything else, the compound can get old and tired and won\u2019t be able to do its job properly, except instead of taking it to an old people\u2019s retirement home, you\u2019ll simply have to switch it for a new one.<\/p>\n

Sweaty Socks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sweaty socks only belong in 2 places: the gym and your laundry. If you smell it in your car, then scenario 1 is to check your backseat to see if you have a bunch of dirty laundries there. If you\u2019re in the clear, then you most likely belong to scenario 2 where you have an AC problem.<\/p>\n

You can test this out by simply turning off the air-conditioning fan. If it is turned off and your car is suddenly filled with the smell of sweaty socks, you\u2019re probably looking at a wet AC system with mildew in it. You could take it to a dealer and have it cleaned out, but a much less expensive solution is to run the fan on high for a little while to see if that fixes it. After all, you\u2019ve got nothing to lose. If it doesn\u2019t work you\u2019ll just have to take it to your dealer and fork out for a fix.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rotten Eggs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Remember those days back in college when you were too lazy to even check your fridge from time to time, and realize that your eggs had rotted, giving off a horrible smell? Side note: if you still have that problem even though you\u2019re not in college anymore, stop nervously laughing as you\u2019re reading this and get your house in order before worrying about your car. But anyway, if your car smell does <\/em>bring you back to those college days with the smell of rotten eggs in it, be wary. This problem is often a biggie because it could either be a problem with the fuel-injection system (expensive), or your catalytic converter (a small fortune). A lot of the time the car is covered with a warranty so be sure to see if yours is before you decide to order a new one yourself.<\/p>\n

Burning Paper<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

An odor giving off the impression of burning paper means that you\u2019re either wasting your clutch completely by not taking your foot off of the clutch pedal and should probably stop riding it, or it was simply time to go. Either way, if the friction plate is worn out to the point that it needs to stop and have a breather, you\u2019ll probably have to replace the entire thing. Unfortunately, that\u2019s not going to be your cheapest fix \u2013 but it\u2019s better than smelling burning paper every single day.<\/p>\n

Burning Oil<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Quite often users report they can smell oil burning after their engine gets hot. This problem is as self-explanatory as it gets – your engine is actually burning oil; although not in the way you might think. Oil could be dripping down to the heated\u00a0\"\"<\/a>manifold giving off the strong nose-pinching smell. Again, you\u2019re dealing with a leak somewhere and you\u2019ll have to stem it. Because it\u2019s oil, however, it should be pretty easy to spot as some of it will inevitably drop down to the ground. Unless of course, it\u2019s coming from the valve cover, in which case you\u2019ll have to visually inspect the engine bay.<\/p>\n

Burning Carpet<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Brakes can be a major issue when not looked out for properly. They are not just an inconvenience but a safety threat when they\u2019re not working as they should be. If you don\u2019t do regular maintenance to your brakes (not the smartest thing to do) and smell something that resembles that of a burning carpet or fabric, it\u2019s possible that the brakes might be causing the problem. This mostly happens when going downhill and heating the brakes up a lot, at which point a lot of people discover they should have changed the brake pads sooner. There\u2019s nothing worse than going downhill and smelling a carpet burning. It\u2019ll not only leave you confused, but you\u2019ll be fighting an uphill battle of having to fork out money to repair one of the most crucial components of your car, while in the meantime making sure you\u2019re still driving safely \u2013 kind of ironic, but pretty symbolic if you ask me.<\/p>\n

Last Words<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So there you have it \u2013 the 7 Deadly Car Smells And How To Fix Them. With all the burning smells talked about in this post, it’s no wonder that they might lead you to some form of metaphorical hell if not properly kept in check. You may not be a believer in religion or scripture, but if you\u2019re reading this you\u2019re sure as hell a believer in your car. Identify these 7 \u2018sins\u2019 as soon as they pop onto your radar, and eliminate them ruthlessly before you\u2019re left repenting for a second chance at redemption for your car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
