Please advise,
My wifes 05 s40 2.0d S has adpted an unusual and she claims unpleasant smell in the cabin (it is like damp fish/flesh).
Serviced in December and no probs, the day we had about 3" snow here she went to work and the next day the smell started. It was valeted and the smell stayed. I put my head/nose in as many places as I could . The smell is also in the boot - but not the spare wheel thats just rubber smell. Off to Volvo who had it up on the ramp and the bloke said - 'try using a jet hose to clear out the voids in the rear bumper there is silt in there and it smells at the back of the car'. Tried that with my hozelock non-jetwash hose. Still there, brought a self fix it in cabin air con spray - smelles like lemons - smell still there. I am hoping it will just go - but she now wants to sell it.
Any advice gratefully received:hissyfit:
