western Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 No filter in a Defender heater system, take the wingtop vent off & make sure the air intake is clear & clean, wouldn't pour anything down the screen demist vents simply because when you operate the heater to max blow, you'll end up wearing whatever got poured down the vents.

cipx2 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 You can use one of the AC duct cleaning foams like these: - http://solutions.3mindia.co.in/wps/portal/3M/en_IN/3MCarCare/3MCarCare/Products/Maintenance/Cleaners/Air-Conditioner-Cleaner+Foam/ - http://servisol.co.uk/csp/web/ProdDisp.csp?country=GB&product=AIRCO%20CLEANER%20%28car%29&brand=CRC%20RED&lng=3 - http://www.einszett.co.uk/products_einszett_aircon_cleaner.htm or any other you can find, just make sure is foam, not aerosol.

Night Train Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I remember an old 'revenge' trick was to put prawns or similarly stinky stuff into the external air vents of a car. It would stink and be a real pain to clean out. Another was to put fishing maggots in the vents.... Just thought I'd mention it in case the previous owner upset someone. There was a chap, when I was at college who bought a Porsche to impress the girls. One girl he picked up at a club vomitted into the dash vents as he showed off the handling. He had to sell the car as he couldn't get the smell out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveRK Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I had a similar problem on my RRC - initially thought i had a leak in the matrix but after a while it went away - keep running it on max heat for a while and it should dissipate - assuming your engine runs up to a nice warm temperature that is?

evolwood Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Before spending loads of time or cash i'd try one of them neutradol ball thingys. I got a car that stunk and after a while with one of them things in it t'was ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
