Experts in the world of cars stressed that drivers should not ignore the emission of unpleasant odors, especially in used cars, the most prominent of which are six smells that are the most common, indicating that there are problems that must be remedied and repaired as soon as possible.

The experts said, "Drivers should not neglect the source of the smell, and reveal the places of defects or malfunctions in their cars, in order to avoid the aggravation of these problems, and pay high financial costs to repair them."

"Emirates Today" monitors, based on international sites specialized in the world of cars, including the British "Cars.com", six of the unpleasant smells emanating from the car, and the location of the malfunction that indicates each of them, as follows:

2

: The appearance of the smell of burning rubber, indicating the disintegration of one of the hoses connected to the engine, with exposure to the intense heat emanating from the engine.

5

: The smell of rotten eggs indicates a problem in the exhaust catalytic converter, which is responsible for converting hydrogen sulfide into sulfur dioxide during fuel combustion.

6

: The spread of the smell of exhaust when the car is running, indicating a problem in the exhaust ejection system, or worn out and damaged parts of it, which leads to the leakage of the smell.
