I've got a weird smell coming from my vents when I don't use the air con just the air. I've had it since I went through a murky puddle a bit fast

shall I clean the engine bay up to take the smell away? It's not a gross smell it's just not great lol and would like to take care of it...

Thanks for any help

You may have drawn a bit of dirty water into the pollen filter and contaminated it mate.
Change it and see how you go

Oh... that's good that they have a pollen filter in cars because I'm a sucker for hayfever and sneaze like buggery and that's what they don't want you doing in cars so you don't crash I guess lol

Ok I'll have a go mate. Point me in the right directions please?

Cheers Duuuuuude!

HAHA ooer

Ok cheers. That area I've noticed isn't clipped on that firmly. Like the WHOLE middle section seems to be shifted I'll get on it. Try and shove it back into place... (ooer)
