HVAC ODOR: NEW technical service bulletin from toyota - Toyota Yaris Forums

33OH · 07-02-2009, 12:51 PM

Well, I just found my smell. Not the HVAC system.

Somehow there's water coming up through the floor in the rear and soaking the carpet. I don't carry passengers in the back and the top of the floormats was completely dry, under them is DRENCHED (and smelly, lol.) Just called and left a message with my Toyota service manager about it.

There have been posts on here about rubber plugs that are supposed to be installed by the dealers in holes in the floor pan, but often are left out. Check for that.

when i got my car, i had a couple rubber plugs in my glove box. i asked what they were for and the salesman had no clue. i still have them sitting in a box somewhere. do you know where they go? provided we're talking about the same ones... thanks!
