Heat Smells

[Apostle]

This is my first time driving the car with the heat on, and it smells kind of funky. I'm wondering if it's possibly my BIC ddp leaking out some exhaust. Any thoughts?

Rather unlikely. The intake for the climate control is next to the windshield wipers, so you would have to be missing your hood seal as well as leaking from the top of the DP.

I've had the exhaust manifold to head seal leak, and I've had the EGR cooler leak as well, but I've never had a problem with the turbo to manifold or turbo to DP seal.

It's the mice that nested in your heater core...you've cooked them now

You could possibly have a heater core leak. Wzup Jdub you have a pm, nad Grim check your yahoo email

Heat tends to smell bad anyway because of the dust and crap in the ducts...

chances are, you'd smell an exhaust leak all the time, not just when the heat is on. Chances are you are smelling 20 years of dust blowing out of your heater core.

Nah it doesnt smell when the heat is off.

Perhaps it could be the dust, it doesn't smell all that bad to the point where i'm holding my breath. But when I drive my newer car the hot air is nice and fresh :icon_surp.
