When you turn on the heater for the first time, it smells because it's the accumulation of the dust from the spring and summer. it's fine just turn it on for about 15 min with the windows open and it'll disappear in no time :)
you probably have a bad heater core.
A car heater that smells like burning rubber could be an indication of a belt that is slipping. The slipping belt smell can be drawn in from the engine compartment into the passenger cabin.
Sounds like your heater has dust bunnies and needs a good cleaning, when dust or fluff heats up it starts to singe or burn causing the burning smell.
It could be your heater fan bearing. But more than likely its something in your engine compartment that is making the smell. Such as oil burning on the exhaust or a worn accessory belt.
if there is glass everywhere and smell like something burned
Presumably your heater is just like mine... in which case it is simply burning the dust that collects on the element. This is certainly true for an electric heater - but I can't be sure that this applies to yours...
Probably a lot like burning plastic.
It should smell a little like burning paper, the same with rayon. If it's polyester, it will melt. Wool will smell like burnt hair.
sort of like burning plastic but a little diff you will have to smell it to know what im talking about but burning plastic is about what it smells like
It smells like you
Crack has a very sweet smell, like burnt marshmellows.
Because your burning your clutch.
