Hey, im new to the forums, got my ride a few days ago, and i love it.. definatly a step up from what i had before.
Anyways, when i have the heater on, and the air coming in from the outside, there is a funny smell coming through the vents. Its almost like the smell you get from being behind someone whos burning oil. Also, you can only smell it inside the car when the heats on. BTW, i searched, but nothing relavent came up. Thanks! -mike --------------------  |

Its not a moldy smell, and i found out its not coming from just the vents. When i opened my door and got out of my car today, i could smell it briefly. Almost like the smell of a burnt clutch, but not as strong. And i dont think it is the clutch because i can smell it when i start the car up and havent even gone anywhere.
