I think my heater coil is blown. The coolant level is a bit down and it stinks like a mens urinal in my max. I dont believe anybody peed on my leather seats so im just making sure with other people that the smell is in fact my heater coil. I cant detect the leak anywhere in the car itself, and i have been told to look under the passenger side feet resting place and found nothing. Oh ya the smell is not as bad when i do not use my heat. In fact the smell is basically gone after i have not used the heat for a week. My question is how much will this cost to repair and can i do it myself? And does this have an adverse effect come next summer when im gonna need AC again. Also tomorrow i am trying out the Lysol into the ducts trick and will see if maybe its just burning mold.

 

maybe someone peed in ure vents

 

AC vents might be moldy.

Check the "4th gen FAQs" thread's last page. There are directions on how to clean out your AC vents.

 

turn your heat up full blast while spraying lysol in the front cowling

 

Yes well obviously people only read half of what it is i have previously said. I have tried the lysol in the cowl trick and it failed miserably. The urinial smell is back and as strong as ever. what exactly is broken? I believe its my heater block/coil (immigrants told me this so im going by them) Any ideas?
