Folks
Could anyone offer any ideas what might be causing a smell in my car?
There has never been anything spilt in it and I have searched it high and low and found nothing.
Its a smell that used to come out of nowhere and last for a day or two then vanish again. Its been happening for maybe 2yrs or so. But it came about a fortnight ago and is still there - it looks like its here for the longterm this time
Its hard to describe the smell. At its worst it smells like sour milk or damp football gear/boots !! Not pleasant. Now as I say I have searched the car many times and can find nothing. Nothings been spilt. The seats all appear clean and dry, no dampness. Boot smells fine, and no sign of any dead animals in the engine bay. Pulled up all the seats and nowt.
I'm at my wits end, as everytime you get out and then back in after a break its bad. Tried all the Febreze thingees but nothing has worked. If you don't use the car for a day or two and get back in its terrible.
Is there anything car wise that could causing this - like catalytic converter or similar? Thing is, I'm thinking this shouldn't affect a car sitting in the driveway for a couple of days and not being used. On the vege of getting the entire interior shampoo'd and valeted as a last resort.
