Car blowers smelling like ...... ferrets!

Ask some of the people on this forum.

They wont need evidence either way, they'll have already made their mind up & that'll be the way it is

Any damp/wetness on the carpets? Feel right under the footwell. Any loss of coolant from the radiator expansion tank? If you can put those two together, it may be a heater matrix problem, not aircon. Coolant loss does not have to be great, just a slight dribble. The heater matrix is a small radiator which usually lives under the dash, in the lower part of the footwell.

Ferrets can swim, though, I believe. SORRY, could not resist that!

I generally don't use the air con in winter times as the pressure is low & i find it's pretty poor.

As for anyone who wonders how i know the pressure is low, i have a copy of op-com (google opcom) & when i plug it in & look at the readouts, the KPa doesn't seem to shift so much in winter but in summer it does.

But in summer time i have it on regular.

The air con specialist told me that the biggest mistake people make is not using it at all, but you need to use it to keep the system lubricated (though he never told me how frequent & anything about winter to be fair to him).
Also the thought on air con using more fuel, but when you see how little it increases your revs then what are we talking? Dropping a 35.50mpg car to 35.00mpg? Not a big deal is it.


Anyway back on topic, are we talking these things:

Yes that's the one or similar.

Nope, no leaks. Thankfully the car doesn't use a lot of any of the fluids.
