Why Does a Fart Smell Suddenly Appear in the Car?
1 Answers
There are several reasons why a fart-like smell might suddenly appear in the car: 1. Clutch: A smell resembling "fart odor" inside the car could also indicate a problem with the clutch. When driving uphill with the clutch in a semi-engaged state, the front of the car may shake violently, causing significant damage to the clutch plates. In this semi-engaged state, the friction between the clutch plates generates high temperatures, almost as if they are burning, leading to this odor. As long as the semi-engagement action is performed correctly and smoothly, this phenomenon should not occur. 2. Antifreeze: Another possible cause of a "fart smell" inside the car, aside from human factors, is a leak in the antifreeze. If the radiator of the heater core is damaged, allowing antifreeze to leak into it, the negative pressure effect can draw the unpleasant odor into the car even when the air conditioning is not turned on.
