because it gets so hot it's like it's about to burn
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.
There are several things that could be going on. The most common thing that would make your car smell like gas when the heater is on would be a bad heater core.
Don't park under maple trees?Maybe there's something on the heater core or in your vents.
Possible that the ac compressor is locking up.
most likely you need to replace te heater core.generally i if the leak is on engine you wont smell it in the car
If it is smoke the heater fan motor has failedORElectronics in the heater have failed ORif it smells like anti freeze rather than smoke the heater core has failed.
It is possible that the heater core ( the device that heats the air inside the car) is leaking. It is connected to the engine cooling system.
Depends on the smell. if it smells sweet, like antifreeze, then it is probably a leak in the heater core. This is a small radiator that runs from the main radiator and makes hot air for the heater. If it smells like gasoline, may be a gas leak. Do not drive the car, get it fixed by a professional. If it smells like smoke, it may be an oil leak. get it checked.
Your heater core is leaking.
The smoke is actually antifreeze mixed with air. The most common cause of this is a leaky heater core.
No. A car heater gets its heat from the motor and uses no extra gas at all, unlike a car's air conditioner which does use more gas.
