Could it be a loose exhaust or header coupling? |

Are you sure it smells of exhaust fumes? I used to get the odd whiff of something every now and again through mine, but it was a smell I've smelt out of commercial aircon units too... a slightly ozoney sort of smell, I always supposed it was a byproduct of the conditioning process. |

But the FBH on the wife's FL throws off a kerosene type smell (I know it doesn't burn kerosene, but that's what it smells like).| Supertrotter Member Since: 10 Mar 2006 Location: Brrrr.... guess where :o( Posts: 9905

I've noticed in the past that if you swith a/c to ECON (i.e. switch off a/c), it smells a little musty. |

You wouldn't have any of these problems if you just bought a SC instead....
