Hello, I have a fumey smell coming in my car but only when I turn the heating on. Do you think it could be this sensor?

Hi, yes potentially. If you circulate in A or closed you should not smell it. If it is in A and you smell it then most likely that is your issue. Please consider subscribing to my KZbin Channel for free if you haven't already.

@Itz_charliee No problem on the aircond setting there is a A for Auto AUC and closed for internal circulation. When it is in A - Auc sensor should be operating. Hope this helps. Thanks for Subscribing

Hi I have a BMW f10 , and in recent days I have noticed that when I enter the car in the morning, the cabin smells very chemically, as if someone has sprayed it with DEET. Thr strange thing is,the car has been off for the night so there must be a leak of some sort. Not sure what is causing it, do u believe the issue is similar to what u have explained right here? Anyway i can fix this please ? Thank u for your time

@@DocMackGarage it's done around 120,000 millage and it's a BMW 518d 2015 plate. I'm a bit alarmed by the smell but I feel it could be an easy fix so wanted to know if I can try fixing it myself. Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated bud.

@Athisham Iqbal sure no problem. I am starting to think it could be Engine oil sweating onto the exhaust manifold, or coolant leaking. Do you find it is noticeable more on startup? The AUC is supposed to work and close the vent , so potentially that is an issue. Please consider subscribing to my KZbin Channel for free if you haven't already.

@The DocMack Car Channel that's interesting as I hadn't thought of that. I have noticed that the smell is only noticeable once the car stops and is left for a few hours ,it is then when u re-enter the car, the gas/ chemical like smell appears or must have seeped thru. As I said, it's like someone has sprayed a DEET like mosquito spray all over the car. What would be the best way to check and attempt to fix this issue?

@Athisham Iqbal Hmmm there could be multiple different things , as I can't see the car in person , it is hard to tell , but sounds like AUC. Also worth checking DPF filter.

My sensor is bad and I have a smell which makes me nauses and gives me redness and itching around the lips. Is there a way to manually block the air from the engine bay to come inside? I want to try it if it stops the smell than I would know that if I replace the sensor I would be able to get rid of the smell. Its 120i 2007 E87.

@wonderwalls3565 Hi , yes there will be a way to block AUC. In the video I showed a button on the control panel, you don't want A to be on. Hope this helps. Please consider subscribing to my KZbin Channel for free if you haven't already to show your support .

@@DocMackGarage so if I press the button it either on A or on the empty circle or none of them so as long as its not on A it would block the air entering from outside into the cabin? The problem is I have tried cleaning the AC system multiple times. twice with AC cleaning foam putting it in all the vents and also removing the filter and putting the foam directly on the blower fan. I have used air freshner with disinfectant 3 times. the smell feels like its gone for a day or day but then comes back. just to add the heater does not work.

@wonderwalls3565 Your might be slightly different but give it a test, A on green will be AUC. I think your valve cover is leaking oil onto the manifold and causing that smell.

@@DocMackGarage Nah no leak from valve cover and its not a burning oil smell. It smells like dust. a friend of mine said its fungus smell but I cant tell. but to add I had tried the heater/AC on all 3 settings and the smell is still there. thanks for the reply though.
