PCGUY112887 Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Sometimes when I really get on it (full WOT), after there is a slight small of oil typically from the vents. Happens on my car and I noticed it on my friends 3400 Alero. Is this normal? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92LuminaRS Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Mabye its coming from the engine bay and the blower fan is sucking it in the cabin? Is the car running when you encounter this? Can you be a little more specific as to when this happens, how often... settings, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCGUY112887 Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Yes it's running, it's right after you let off and coast/slow down. I haven't paid much attention to the settings but I believe the vents/heat/something is on almost everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFromColorado Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 we get that smell too on my Fiance's 99 Alero 3400 right when ya let off the gas ... I've heard it's the PCV valve. --Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCGUY112887 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 PCV in both cars are brand new. Road around in my friends 1.8T 2000 Beetle today and noticed the same thing, i'm thinking it's just normal for all engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92LuminaRS Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 See if it does it in recirc mode (on out older cars it's MAX on the a/c) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
