I Need a Break!

[AngliaGT]

We just bought a 2010 Ford Fusion from an auto broker,
in South San Francisco.We noticed a "hay smell" when we test drove it.
My Wife decided to change the cabin filter,& then came in the
house,asking me to finish the job.
I went out & found a dead mouse,& about 2-1/2 gallons of fur/-
nesting material.It took about two hours to clean out,but still have a smell
lingering.Now to figure out how to get rid of the smell.
This is what I found:View attachment 47636View attachment 47637


I call the auto brokers,& told them about the problem.The warranty
we got was for 5 days/200 miles.We put over 275 miles on it driving home.They're
going to send us a $100 Amazon gift card,which is better than nothing.They could have
said that the warranty was expired,& there wouldn't be much we could do about it.
Amazon's supposed to have products to get rid of the smell.

Ants,wrecked cars,leaking roof,& car projects - I need a boring year!

Usually the inlet is grilled small or screened to prevent that.
If it was mine, I'd be looking for an ingress problem and solve it.
The drain is sometimes the culprit...either a kazoo on the firewall damaged, missing or jammed open, or if not there, a drain in the lower rear portions of the wing(s).

"Try getting your hands on a good OZONE Generator. Run it in the vehicle for 24 hours. That should get rid on the smell. You Dealership may have one as most use them to get rid of the cigarette smoke smell in used vehicles prior to selling them."

This is a problem...google it.
