Certain Smells Could Suggest Car Troubles

No one can resist a smell of a new vehicle. The combination of leather and plastic clearly captivates the aromatic senses. Of course, as soon as the smell dwindles, many of us get air fresheners that make our car smell fruity or musky. All this is great given that all of us have their own likes and dislikes. But what will you do when you start smelling things that you never smelled before. In this article, we will take a look at what certain smells could signify for your vehicle.

One common peculiar smell is anything that is a sickly sweet smell. This smell signifies there is a drip in your coolant system. Any leak, however small, in your coolant system must be fixed immediately. You may also discover an smell that is very strong. This strong smell signifies the heater core is dripping. This would need to be fixed without delay considering that inhaling the fumes could be dangerous.

You may also notice that it is possible to smell the exhaust inside your car. This is a good indication that there might be a hole inside your exhaust system. If the odor is really nasty, it could either mean the doors aren't sealed adequately or that you have holes in your floor due to rust.

A few months ago, I left to fill my vehicle up with gasoline and when I left the station, I still smelled gasoline. It didn't bother me at the outset, but the subsequent day I could still smell gas. It turned out that I had a leak on the topside point of my fuel tank. It is probably the most dangerous smell since any spark could very well set off a fire. So there's no reason to go into detail with regards to your car catching on fire. So if you are always smelling gasoline in your car, get your car looked over immediately.

And lastly, you might come across a rotten egg smell. It is in all likelihood that the odor is caused by a clogged catalytic converter. This also implies that the exhaust is not escaping properly which could result in some serious damage to your car. So if you have that rotten egg smell, get your car in and have it checked out.

There are other odd smells that you might come across as you use your car. Therefore, don't just disregard it, take your car in to make sure that there is nothing wrong.
