We don't drive it often, probably 2-3 times a week for short trips. It is in a parking garage when not in use. I went to drive it the other day and when I opened the door I was overwhelmed by a chemically smell. I can best describe it as paint or nail polish remover. There don't appear to be any leaks and the engine is still practically new. What could this smell be??

Make sure your A/C is still working. Other than that, it really has to be something that someone left in the car, possibly the trunk. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. cnhutch New User Nov 28, 2010, 10:38 AM Post #3 of 5 (3276 views) Re: 2010 Toyota Avanza, Interior smells like paint/nail polish remover Sign In Positively certain it's not gasoline. Could an AC leak give off a smell in the interior like nail polish remover or paint thinner (acetone)?

It has to be something spilled in the trunk or elsewhere in the car. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. cnhutch New User Nov 28, 2010, 10:54 AM Post #5 of 5 (3268 views) Re: 2010 Toyota Avanza, Interior smells like paint/nail polish remover Sign In Thanks for the quick reply! Guess I'll need to keep digging around and see if I can locate the spill.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
