Subject:      Sinky Smell from vents.
Comments: To: vanagon@vanagon.com

Has anyone else experienced a rotten stink coming from the front vent
system?  It is not a coolant/anti freeze smell. It is more like a
raunchy dead something smell.
It has a bit of stinky rubber smell to it so I'm thinking that one of
the directional vents is rotting away.


This occurs when I turn on the front heater and the
air is circulating through the ducts. I had noticed
this during the summer but now that its cold and I
want heat, it's REALLY obvious.


Has anyone else experienced this VW phenomena?  What
could be a remedy?  Strip and gut the entire vent and heater ducts and
clean it out?
