| Re: help please my car stinks fag end down a vent at some time in its life lol, lots of crap can get down the vent at the top of the dash, dont know what u could do, could try an aircon clean, a gas that is just a sorta air freshener that runs through the vents while the blowers are on full, most dealers sell this service for round 30quid
