i ran over some road kill today and it's really stinking up my air vents. anyone know tips how on to get rid of the smell from the vents? smells like crap. thanks.

 

what does a clutch burn smell like? my smell is kinda like a dirty used fried oil.. any tips on how to get rid of it? thanks.

 

mine stunk the first day i got it. i bought it brand new

 

Your vents pull in whatever smell is coming from outside, so I'd first make sure the roadkill isn't cooking on the bottom of your car somewhere....

 

i think it was.. because i was driving after i hit it for 15 miles.. when i got home another 35 minutes later i hosed the whole thing down and the bottom of the car as well

 

time put get her up and check the underside. might need to
scrape meat off your midpipe... yuk.

 

Then that probably explains the dirty fried oil smell too... Burning clutch smells kinda like burning rubber....

 

dammit i need to find someone with a jack.. hahha so disgusting i washed off most of it i just see chunks of meat come off the car.. i'm sure there's more.. there's still some smell left

 

anyone think replacing the incabin filter to the charcoal will be smell free? i only smell the road kill through my vents

 

It's worth a try. It'll only cost you $15 and 20 minutes of your time. But unless you can get all the steak off the pipes, it may still come back....

 

If it's from outside your car, the charcoal filter may help somewhat. They don't work on all types of odors and will only reduce the ones they work on.

Best to get the chunks of roadkill off first.

I had a plastic bag melt onto my exhaust that caused a real smell problem once.

 

Where can you find an in-cabin filter for $15?

 

^I know ebay is one place. Maybe not one of em carbon ones though.

 

where can you buy the charcoal ones?

 

I saw this weird kind of air-freshner as wal-mart once. It's a small bag with some viscous liquid in it. You're supposed to dump in in your windshield washer fluid tank and everytime you spray your windshield and put your climate control to outside air....you smell the fresh scent. I thought it was interesting...don't know if they still sell it.
