Hy there,
I recently dicovered a problem with my Bravo: when I turn on the heat in the car I immediately notice a weird smell like moisture combined with wet socks...it's difficult to explain exactly..but anyway it's a bad smell.
I tried using two spray's of KlimaCleaner..but no result...
When I turn to Cold (air conditioner) the smell dissapears slowly...
Any idee what might be the problem??
I started thinking about removing the HeaterMatrix for a closer examination..but I think it will be very difficult to do that...
 
check ur radiator fluid

u might have a leak

how difficult do you think it will be to remove the radiator from the dashboard???
It's necessary to remove the entire dashboard??
 
First did you change the pollen filter ?
Second, check the rubber outlet pipe on the wall of the car under the bonnet to the in car room, it may be blocked and not letting condensed water out.
Third, the heater matrix is easy to take out, just remove the glove box and some plastic trims that cower the matrix - or I may be wrong and its on the drivers side in UK. ;)

Does it smell of amonia? Yes? Cat ****!!

The little b'stards get on your warm bonnet, snuggle down and can't be arsed to move when they need a ****.

Had it 3 or 4 times myself.

sabre23: I can't say that it smells like cat ****...it's a smell more like moisture..
I'm quite sure that is not from the cat's..

The pollen filter was just replaced vith a new one from fiat but the smell is still there.
I think that the only thing left is to remove the heatermatrix

by the way: where exactly is that rubber outlet pipe?? is it in the same space where is the motor from the wipers mechanism??
