A smell of oil when the car heater is turned on could indicate an oil leak that is coming into contact with hot engine components, such as the exhaust manifold, producing a burning odor. It may also be caused by oil residue on the engine that heats up when the heater is activated. Additionally, if the heater core is leaking coolant, it can mix with oil and create an unusual smell. It's advisable to have the vehicle inspected to identify and address the issue promptly.

What causes a burning smell from the vents of the car when the ac is turned on?
Any smell from the car vents is unrelated to the AC system unless it is an antiseptic smell. Generally, the smells are environmental from your engine compartment, where the fresh air is taken from. If you smell something burning from the vents, then something is heating up to much under your hood. Check your compressor for a worn clutch, or oil leaking onto the exhaust manifold.
What does it mean when you smell fumes coming from the air vent in a 2002 passat when the car is stopped?
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.
