Look for the dead pigeon in the engine bay then Rolling with laughter

If not, could be bacteria in the aircon or a real problem. Trip to the dealer perhaps? TDV6 - gone

Are you sure it smells of exhaust fumes? I used to get the odd whiff of something every now and again through mine, but it was a smell I've smelt out of commercial aircon units too... a slightly ozoney sort of smell, I always supposed it was a byproduct of the conditioning process.

What did you eat last night?


Seriously it might still be the FBH - the actual FBH unit is covered in an coat of something and this will produce a different smell other than diesel. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

My FBH was missing Wink But the FBH on the wife's FL throws off a kerosene type smell (I know it doesn't burn kerosene, but that's what it smells like).

I've noticed in the past that if you swith a/c to ECON (i.e. switch off a/c), it smells a little musty. Confused
