IS F (2008-2014) :: Car Stinks When Turn On Air Conditioner
I bought a model IS 250 F Sport 2015 lexus in early December. A few weeks note that the car stinks when I turn on the air conditioner. The odor comes from the air conditioner and lasts a minute. I took the car to the service center and they told me I had to put a carbon air filter, but the car already had the factory one, so the service center will set a new one. The problem continues especially when I leave the car in the street during the day with plenty of sunshine.
The service center gave me some instructions, open the vents for air from outside to turn the car and before shutdown. But this solution does not satisfy me, I think they need to fix the root problem and not propose solutions like these suggestions. I do not pay for a car with bad smell. What do you think I should do? Return the car to the dealer?

View 2 RepliesToyota - Matrix :: 2003 - Replaced The Differential - Handling Stinks - New Noise
2003 Matrix XR, 89K, well maintained by old owner, just about to become mine.Took it to old owner's mechanic for pre-sale checkup. He said humming noise was rear differential and replaced it.
Now it pulls to the right when driving, to the left when braking (also throbs), and generally just feels like total crap to drive. There's also a noise that I hear as sort of a ...rough grinding/roaring sound? Seems to be from the back.
Details: the hum increased in pitch as wheel speed went up. Nothing else changed it - not going from dirt to pavement, drive to neutral, uphill to down, straight to cornering. Otherwise, everything felt fine - handled really nicely, that's why I wanted to buy it.
When I picked it up from the shop after the differential implant I drove it about a mile, flipped out at the way it felt, and took it right back; it was near closing time. Kid put it up on the lift, looked and said it was a front wheel bearing and to bring it back next morning. This morning the still-owner picked it up, test drove it and said "Yep, feels all loosey-goosey," brought it in to the shop, and different guy says "it's the alignment, bring it in tomorrow."
Alignment? Wheel bearing? Why all of a sudden? Maybe the differential is bad or not installed properly? Why am I the only one thinking this? Also, they lost one of the springs to the bit at the front where the exhaust joins on to the engine so there's a big loud exhaust noise, which they didn't notice when they test drove it.
Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: 2001 - Heater Core Leaks / AC Just Stinks While Running
My heater core must have sprung a leak this week. Not that I need heat in this weather but just the smell of it while running the A/C just stinks. I know I am going to have to replace it myself but just for S&G, what would a dealer charge to replace it?

I have a 1999 mercury cougar and recently my acceleration has gone down huge, when i try to go onto a highway my car starts to chug, i have to push the pedal to the floor for it to actually start picking up speed a little faster, and once in a while i smell a sulfur smell!
Another symptom I have is my engine heat goes up 3/4 of the way when this happens! Also once in a while after driving while its hot the car starts to shake lightly then shakes a lot until i get off the highway and bring my speed from 110km/h to about 60k?

Ford Excursion :: EGR Marbles - Truck Loses Pretty Much All Power Below 2000 RPM / Smokes And Stinks Bad
EGR marbles -- the chunks of carbon that come loose from the EGR cooler / intake manifold and stick the EGR valve open?
I've been getting these on 3 recent occasions, maybe 100 miles or so apart. The truck loses pretty much all power below 2000 rpm, smokes and stinks bad until I pull the EGR valve and dump these out. I'm trying to decide if I need to dig in and do a new EGR cooler and oil cooler. I've read the FordDoctorsDTS article suggesting these are caused by and coming from a leaking EGR cooler (possibly only when very hot) over time.
I'm not currently losing any coolant that I can tell, but was losing some a few months ago (during warmer weather), but also had a leaky heater valve that I replaced at the time. Not sure if the leaky valve would account for the total coolant loss (I lost over a gallon in a few weeks).
Here's the additional details:
- 2004 Excursion with just over 109K miles
- Replaced faulty EGR valve (was sticking open) about 300 miles ago
- Replaced stock turbo with new powermax turbo 300 miles ago. Old was rusty and pitted with sticking unison ring.
- I just did a total coolant flush, oil cooler back-flush, Restore and Restore+ and added new coolant filter
- Replaced thermostat during coolant flush. ECT stays pretty close to 190 degress when warmed up.
- ECT/EOT delta is mostly between 15 to 18 degrees, sometimes slightly lower or higher. Not much change after the coolant flush, but may be slightly improved.
- I've been doing pretty regular wide open throttle tests during recent test drives with the new parts above (I'm thinking this may have broken some of this stuff loose).
Here's today's marbles. They're all dry and will crumble if crushed. They are dull gray on the inside - not metallic as they kind of look here............
Ford 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel :: Blows Smoke / Stinks And Smells Like Something Is Burning For About 15 Minutes
So I run a custom sct tune as my daily driver. Every 6 months or so my turbo starts acting funny. I get a weird turbo bark on wot. The shift pattern gets thrown off. It feels like something is about to break in a bad way.
But then it fixes itself. I return my truck to stock and run a couple laps down the highway. It blows smoke, stinks, and smells like something is burning for about 15 minutes then it is fine. I change it back to the custom tune and it runs fine for 6 months again.
What this is? Is this an egr valve or ebp sensor?
Ford 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel :: 2011 F350 - Loss Of Power And Stinks?
My uncle was pulling his fiver to the beach yesterday with his 2011 f-350 6.7. He lost power, the truck got very loud, and there is a very strong stale kerosene smell in the cab. Strong enough to require the windows be down for ventilation. He was able to limp on into the campground and has an appointment with the dealership Monday. The truck has 19,000 miles and is still covered under the extended warranty.

This evening it's -12C, I've driven the car for about 20mins, it's warmed up to the "90" mark on the temp dial, and when I turned off the car, and removed the key, the fan was still on. This has never happened before, and considering it's this cold out (it's been warmer and this has yet to happen in the near 2 months I've owned it) the fan running while off has never happened. Should I be concerned?

So the other day my car had a problem starting, but on the second try it turned over.
Well after work tonight I went out to my car and tried to leave.... The car started for a split second and then died. It would sputter then shut off. It seemed like the car was not getting any fuel...
There were 3 instances when the car started tonight like it was going to run, but when gas was given it sputtered out again. Pulled the fuel line into the engine and when trying to start and push on the gas, no fuel spilled out. Pulled the fuel pump relay and switched it out, still same problem Is this the fuel pump?
Golf/GTI VI :: Could Nav Be Operated After Radio Turned Off?
On the RNS315 is it possible to turn off the radio and operate just the Nav or the Media? It seems that if I have the radio on and then switch on the Nav, for example, the radio stays on and the only way to "silence" it is to press the Mute button.

So I got my Gas Tank Fix done a couple weeks back, and ever since (at least that I can remember) whenever the car turns on I get this 1-2 second wiff of a paint smell kinda....like something was freshly painted, then it goes away almost instantly.
Do you think something happened to my car at the dealer and they covered it up? Seems weird though, you'd think you'd be able to smell the paint more often.
Golf IV R32 :: AC Turned On But No Cold Or Hot Air Blowing Out
Today I got in the car and turned on the ac, got no air blowing. Turned the ac off and the heat up, still nothing. I assume the blower is shot or maybe the fuse? I could hear the vents switching from top to bottom as I changed it but no air coming out. Where would the fuse be? What to check? Engine cooling fans replaced last year and working.

My Jetta is leaking gas like a sieve when the fuel pump starts. Its pretty obvious where its coming from. What this part is called or if there is more to it than just replacing it. Its coming from the round looking part on the fuel rail. Let me know what you think.

View 24 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Fan Automatically Quits When AC Is Turned On
I have been trying to tackle my AC problems for quite some time now...I noticed my AC was not working properly a little while back, so I ran the diagnostics on climatronic. It came back saying AC high pressure switch. I replaced that -- still nothing. I continued to run more diagnostics. My fans run when the car heats up, so its not overheating, but when I turn on the AC, no fans come on automatically. I jumpered the fans directly off the battery and they both work on both speeds. When I hook it up to the thermo switch plug, it only works on low speed. I replaced the FCM, which had a lot of corrosion on it -- I Even had to run repair wire for 2 of the pin ports. I Jumpered the compressor too, and it seems to have kicked on as well. Even if the compressor were bad, wouldn't the fans still try to run when AC was on.

Now that it's cold, my heater fan has been squeaking/humming when I first turn the car on. After it warms up a bit, it stops making noise. I assume the fan just needs to be lubed? The only thing that I've found that fixes the noise is turning the music up louder.
