Okay so the saturday of Route 66. I woke up for the drive to find a new smell in my car. Wasn't to bad that day but has gotten progressively worse. I can't find the son of bitch anywhere. Try following my nose & that doesn't work. I cannot pinpoint where the smell is coming from. I've left the top off my car & the windows down in my garage. Figured eventually the decomp would be done. Trying to air it out & it does not seem to be getting any better. I've even had my kids come out to smell & try to find the source. I've taken a mini camera deal to get into all the places I can't see. I've found nothing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I've looked under the seats, behind the backpad, in my vents, in the tubes in the long, under the dash, in both trunks, all around the gas tank. I'm at a loss (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . When the smell is obvious & when driving it circulates the air making it worse. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Looking for ideas to find it. I'm not going to smell that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) going to WCR & back

You could get a water jet fitting on a garden hose that aims backwards. Stuff it in the hole and turn on the water. Then slowly drag the hose out. It will clean it out...

You could get a water jet fitting on a garden hose that aims backwards. Stuff it in the hole and turn on the water. Then slowly drag the hose out. It will clean it out... So saturday I did this. Put a high pressure nossle on my hose. Fed it down the long from behind the passenger side speaker. Turned it on & let it run a bit. The slowly pulled it back out. It is much better. I no longer smell it in the car. I also fed some oil stuff my wife makes called Purify. It kills bacteria & has a nice smell to it. I can still smell a bit outside but could be from gunk that got sprayed back on the motor & engine bay. Shouldn't be to much there but I'll jack it up & spray the area out good. I drove it to work today & just being out in the open air. I think I have it basically gone. So my trip to WCR should be a pleasant stench free ride (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |
