Default Sweet Smell

Hmm, I've smelled a sweet smell coming through my vents at start up the last couple days. I need to see if it is only when I'm at the house or other places too. My cowl is covered in flowers at the house when I get in the car and I HOPE it is that that I am smelling and not 'what shall not be spoken of'. I have a road trip starting on Sunday and I do not need any issues to creep up. *knocking on wood*

well if it smells nice then its a free air freshener . If your worried about anything being clogged just give your baby a little wash before you go and just incase take a look at your radiator and if it looks clogged try doing a little pressure wash on it.

"what shall not be spoken of" can put a nasty crimp in anyone's travel plans . Fore warned is fore armed. check it out and safe motoring

What smells like flowers now can turn into mold in the evaporator case in time if the flowers get in through the fresh air vent.

1FunRide, you have spoken what shall not be spoken. doomed. just doomed.

It's not a heavy smell and it isn't consistent now at startup but I did smell it with no flowers on the car. I'll pop the hood today and look it over to see if I can spot anything.

Opening the hood would of been my first option, instead of sitting there talking about a smell. LOL
