Car Smell When Idling in Traffic

Helldiver — Tue, 14 Nov 2023 10:24:33 +0800

Hi guys, this issue has had me stumped for a few weeks already. Hoping to get some insights or to see if anyone else has the same experience

Driving a 2019 Proton Iriz (Premium).

The past few weeks I've been smelling this very odd smell in the cabin of my car, I can't describe it but it's slightly kinda "choking" or "sticks to the throat" (words from an aircon specialist).

So went through some troubleshooting and I've narrowed it down to the following:

When it happens:
Idling in traffic, i.e. car stopped by traffic light OR in standstill traffic jam with other cars (front and/or side, doesn't matter). The smell takes a few minutes to start; once it gets in, it'll go away after I continue driving. It never happens during driving, even if slowly in moving traffic jam.

Some troubleshooting I've done myself and with Proton SC (twice already) and an aircon specialist:
1) Sometimes idling with no traffic around also has the smell, but rarely (when in porch, in carpark with no cars around or cars without engine on)
2) Proton SC jacked up my car and checked the exhaust from under, no cracks and no leaks, no smell even when face up close to the exhaust; as usual SC said got some smell is normal but this smell is definitely not normal
3) Changed cabin filter to new one, to no avail
4) Aircon specialist checked the recirculation valve/foam-thing and everything working fine and seems to seal properly
5) Aircon specialist said it smells like cooling coil smell and checked the coil; it's not mouldy or dirty. He blasted it with air to also sorta ventilate it a little bit, but the smell has still returned in the scenario above.
6) When the smell starts, I put my face directly at the aircon but I don't really smell it coming from the air.

I'm really frustrated and confused, I have no idea what could be causing this issue. Is this an aircon system thing or something else entirely? The aircon specialist is saying that he may need to disassemble the entire dash to check everything thoroughly (RM900+ inclusive of cooling coil replacement, is this price ok?)

Can anyone share if there's any similar experiences or an idea of what this could be?

Getting a PC from Ideal Tech

Helldiver — Tue, 26 Jul 2016 09:22:13 +0800

Hey there guys,

I'm looking to get my own desktop now (laptop dying), and Ideal Tech seem like one of the better places to get your desktop build up.

1) Are they okay to deal with? Anything I should take note of about them?
2) Is their stress test necessary?
3) Are their prices fair?

I'm looking to have a very nicely built rig with excellent cable management, and they seem like the only one who does that at this point, aside from building it myself.

Any feedback or comments at all will be greatly appreciated

GST on online purchases

Helldiver — Sat, 07 Mar 2015 19:20:27 +0800

Hey guys, just wondering how will GST affect purchasing stuff online?

I frequently buy toys online from websites like Amiami and HLJ amongst the others, so how will the GST work with that? Do I get affected as well? I'm very confused

Looking to get new monitor

Helldiver — Fri, 06 Mar 2015 19:45:24 +0800

Hi guys,

Is the Acer G227HQL a good monitor? It seems pretty bang for buck at Rm410 with HDMI and VGA inputs

I'm looking to get a monitor to output from my laptop, it's about 22", the size is no problem for me. But can't seem to find it on Acer's website nor have i seen it in shops, except in price list.

Migrating Raid 0 to new Motherboard

Helldiver — Wed, 25 Feb 2015 23:01:34 +0800

Hey guys,

I've been wanting to upgrade my old desktop for a while, change out the mobo and get a new processor.

My current processor is the AMD Phenom II X4995 with Asus M4A785TD-M EVO mobo.

The thing is, my PC is set up with Raid 0 on two hard disk drives, so is there any possible way for me to migrate the Raid 0 set up to a new mobo without much tampering? I never put the Raid 0 up myself as the computer was gift.

I'm looking get http://www.asus.com/my/Motherboards/M5A97_...specifications/ as the new motherboard with AMD FX6300 processor.

Do hope I can get some detailed input, I'm new to doing all these and it's confusing
