\"Car<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your car smelling funny isn\u2019t a sign you should ignore for long. A foul smell in the car could be an indication of a big problem with the vehicle. Read more about the possible major causes behind the bad smell in your car:<\/p>\n

Leakage in the core heater<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you notice a distinctively sweet smell in your vehicle, and you are sure that it isn\u2019t accidentally spilled maple syrup, then this is most likely the smell of antifreeze. Besides this, if you also notice a film-like fog forming on the car\u2019s windshield while the heater is operating, it\u2019s yet another clue to a leakage.<\/p>\n

Something wrong in the clutch or brakes<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you can smell powerful, acrid odor in your car, it probably means that the clutch or brake is burnt. Your vehicle is likely to smell funny if you leave the parking brakes on or ride the brakes. Besides this, frozen parking brakes or a stuck caliper could also cause your car to smell poorly. It could also be a sign that the clutch is slipping. This is because either it is worn out or because it requires some adjustment. In those systems which have hydraulic clutches, the slipping clutch issue could also be that the hydraulic system possible needs inspection.<\/p>\n
