turbo.vixen Hey guys, Tab is here... Oh i feel sick Lifetime Members 8,459 Member For: 17y 30d Gender: Male Location: sunshine coast Posted 31/07/08 08:09 PM Share Posted 31/07/08 08:09 PM hey all, when I first jumped into my mates basic xt ute before I got my turbo sedan I almost threw up from the smell. I didnt say anything to him cuz I just thought he was a dirty bastard, but when I bought my car it has the same smelly interior. I cleaned the carpet and seats and that fixed it for a while but it just seams to come back. anyone else got this problem?

If your XR has the smell, I might be wrong.

Found by using the aircon more it kept it away, The dealer said its a common problem. They checked the drain lines from the air con condenser area and they were clear, no stale water.

Ozone is whats used to get rid of the smell of rotting corpse's and stuff like that. Just make sure you're not in the car when the generator is on or you'll become a rotting corpse!

Just make sure you're not in the car when the generator is on or you'll become a rotting corpse!I had a family friend who was a carpet cleaner and he told me a pretty mean story about an old lady that had died and been "melting" into the carpet for 3 weeks in the middle of a heatwave.Said after a while with the ozone generator on, the house smelled all good.He reckons after the ozone thing has done it's work it gives off the same smell you get when it rains on a hot day. Hard to describe.Not sure if that was just him trying to make his job sound at least half exciting or what but it really stuck in my head Edited 03/09/08 04:05 AM by Ghosti Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/48221-stinky-interior/#findComment-727423 Share on other sites More sharing options...
