Is it just me? Or do 306s have a unique smell

[ozonehostile]

I've owned quite a few Peugeots now but one thing that I've always noticed, all 306 smell the same when you open the door, petrol or diesel, all the same. Like a hot oil and old air freshener scent.


Anyone else noticed or am I just going wrong in the head haha

[adamm306]

Hmm nah all cars smell different I think mate. my phase 1 smelt old and musty inside my phase 2 smelt cleaner and felt a nicer place to be

[zx_volcane]

[Matt]

Lol, I guess I notice the smell of a car more now since I stopped smoking

I think my estate will forever smell of the airfreshner overload that was going on when I bought it.

I guess that's because the chap I bought it off was a bit Erm..... Herbal ;-) haha

The last two iv owned smelt the same. Kinda smelt like sweaty arse, and it got worse if it woz sunny lol

[adamm306]

sweaty arse? dont even want to imagine what was going on in there

[THE_Liam]

Mine smells like chips, all the time.

[bingham123456]

Yeah i drove everywhere with the windows rolled down a bit to get rid of the smell

[ozonehostile]

Speaking of arse, there was certainly some memorable stains left on the back seats of the sedan ;-)


Hahaha

[adamm306]

reminds me of my 106 backseats

[bingham123456]

Yeah my other half at the time refused to sit in one of mine because of stains like that.... And when she did get in the car she sat on a bin liner so she didn't have to touch the seats lmao

[adamm306]

stains like that add character you wouldn't get that with a bmw

[Chris_90]

Mine smells like chips and petrol well apparently I'm used to it now that's other people tell me

[powerandtorque]

All to often the smell of musty heater matrix that no one wants to tackle as it's a ballache...

[John1.4]

agreed, mine smells like gearbox oil mixed with old vanilla air freshener/ current orange oil one, and fusty coolant smell for a while when you turn on the heaters... no human slime or salty stff in mine though

[Jtrigga]

My Gti smells like Yankee candle coconut even though I've got rid of the freshener to be fair it's not too bad.

[Toms306]

306's do have a smell (when they're not full of air freshners lol). Can't really explain it but whenever getting back in one after a while without there is a distinctive smell....

Now you mentioned it, I think it is kind of a hot oily smell.....something to do with the cabin air intake is and no pollen filter maybe.....hmm...

[Grant]

Its just you dude

[Danny2009]

Mine smells like magic tree black ice

Yes Tom! I knew it haha

[306Dan]

Mine always smells of oil and grease, probably due to me being in a workshop daily

French charm mate, you can't buy that

[JJtheHITMAN]

I find all 90's vauxhalls have a distinctive musty smokey smell

[MrsMidnight]

My car smells like the puppy... After a nice long muddy and rainy walk... I really need to clean it and buy a decent air freshener!
