View Full Version : Weird smell seeping through vents!

For the past fortnight or so, a smell not too dissimilar from bad foot odour, can be smelt inside the car (and nope, it's not me or any passengers :D). At first, I thought it was coming from the engine bay but I'm now suspecting it's coming from the A/C vents.

Any thoughts?

change the pollen filter, its located in the passenger side glovebox... although your car is fairly new but process of elimination, there's where i'd look first... or even just take it out for a good clean and see if it fixes it

Yeah that's where I would start too. Can anyone confirm the place place for the pollen filter for an XC Corsa/Barina? Is it under the window wiper cover at the base of the windshield?

Yeah it is. Open the bonnet and it's at the base of the windscreen towards the passenger side. There's a good tutorial on a certain Corsa-C UK website but not sure if I am allowed to link to other forums on here.
