Except you’re the extremely dirty type, nobody normal likes foul odour. Almost everybody (if not all) would love to keep the good smell in their car.

When you start perceiving foul odour from your car, it’s an indication that something is wrong somewhere. There are some things that can alter the good smell in your car and make it go bad to foul odour.


6 Reasons Why Your Car Smells

1. Burnt clutch or brake materials:
You will easily notice the smell when you’re driving with your windows down. A burnt clutch and brake pads that got too hot will give out the same ‘burning rubber’ smell.

2. Water getting inside the car:
When water or fluid gets into the car where it’s not meant to, be rest assured your car will smell. This is much pronounced after rain. Leaky doors, windows seals, can give water free passage into the car. When water makes it to the seats and carpets, it gives birth to smell.

3. Bad food and spilt drink
The smell can also be a result of spilt drinks or decomposed food for those that eat or drink inside their cars.

4. Oil leaks:
You’ll perceive a burning smell whenever oil drip and drop on any hot part of the exhaust system.

5. Bad catalytic converter:
When things are not right as it should with your catalytic converter, you’ll end up perceiving smell a rotten egg.

6. Fuel leaks:
When there is leaky fuel lines, stuck injector, bad fuel pressure regulator, they can lead to fuel being dumped on your engine region.

when battery is spoiling, u perceive d worst odour.

However what is d reason for the fuel odour I perceive when driving my Camry Orobo ? Because of this, d consumption is high. Where is d leakage from cos I don't think it's the fuel tank.. could it be the new engine I bought was not properly installed

Acrid smells typically mean that either brake or clutch material has been burnt.. I was having this problem

Water don do my car strong tin b4... I remember one time wen Nepa refused to give us light for almost a week, there was no dRop of water in the house, generator was faulty. I used the car to transport water with jerry cans from Iya olomi water supply to my house..... Damn!!! The odour lasted for days cry

Another important point is the neglect of regular cleaning/washing of cars by owners. Some car owners are dirty. Cleanliness is not only by wearing fine cloth and applying an expensive perfume. Most times when I enter people's cars I do shake my head in disappointment. The only part of the vehicle they maintain is the engine. They completely ignore the interior.

Ambi Pur will not be effective if you leave decomposed food & empty plastic bottles & cans inside the car. Na dustbin?
