Heater smells like A$$...

Post by jasonbierschwale »

Hey guyz 'n galz,
I bought my '93 GS from my stepdaughter. She owned several dogs, one of which is remembered for 'tossing it's cookies' every time it was put in the car. I'm not sure to what extent the animals were in the car, and if there were even more freom a previous owner... but every time I turn on my heater, I smell a wet dog's a$$ for about 10 seconds. I thought maybe a vehicle heater unit was similar to a house unit and had a filter in the airflow path that had sucked up some dog hair. Does anyone know if this is possible? Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have a solution? Thanks!<p> :shrug:

Fog it...if you spray a whole lot of fabreze in there and then leave the heater running (on circulate) that stuff will go through the vents. I use a bug fogger for odor removal and allow the solution to go through the vents in the same manner.
