You don't have cats in your neighbourhood, do you? Maybe the local tom has decided he likes your car and 'marked' the air intake vent.

You can get little air-fresheners that will clip on the vents and circulate sweet smells through the car.

Aircon disinfectant cleaning spray, there are sprays on the market to remove the smell, the smell is because of bacteria and mold & fungus are growing in the ducts. This is because when you run you air con, and instantly turn it off the moisture is stuck in the vents thats why they recommend you letting the fan run for a little while after the aircon is off. Best bet is to go to any auto parts shop, like autobarn or something like that and just tell em what the problem is. Or even a aircon repairer shop they are a good bet. Hope i've helped.

Cheers

Just to a auto part shop ask em about it most of them can get it in buy the next day. The propper way to do it is get them professionally cleaned out but a aircon place as stated above.

most of the time you have to wash the evaporator coil.got a japanese product called crystal waters.

in the old days of rotting heater cores we used nil-odour.small eyedropper full in the fan motor.

tried sprays,some work,had one with a long tube and expanding type foam.glen twenty is probly best.

silly people often let it fill with leaves.and the things grow in there big time.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
