Polish / Wax Odor

[JanDebL at aol.com]

Take a peek in the plenum by the heater core / AC evaporator and see if there 
is an accumulation of decaying leaves.  I cleaned out an 87 5K I bought last 
year and took out enough mulch to fertilize a flower garden.  In addition to 
the obvious mold / fungi / yeast by-products, the decaying matter gives off a 
number of volatile organic compounds (with varying odors). Also not good for 
someone with allergy problems.
If you find a similar problem with your car, a thorough cleaning and a final 
wash with a chlorine bleach / water solution will help kill off the remaining 
microbiological growth.

I once found a GTI that had a plugged AC drain allowing the condensate water 
to build up start a miniature swamp - complete with all the odors.

Good luck, Jan Lahtonen
