Scared to check mine now.

 

i hardly use my ac and its pretty much on recirulate all the time.

 

If it's on recirculate, you are using the AC all the time. The only time the AC compressor isn't being used is when it is set to outside air and dash vents only. In the other conditions the AC is on (hot or cold) to remove moisture from the cabin.

 

well i hardly turn on my ac so i should be good lol. my ac still works fine non the less

 

I pulled half a morning edition outta mine. No creatures, tho.

 

I can turn my '05 to recirc w/o engaging the AC, but it's pretty stiffling after awhile to be on recirc. Recirc is principally to preclude dust for a short duration only or when very hot to AC-cool the cabin more quickly, again just short duration. We need fresh air as much/more than our engines do!

 

I've seen worse, as in dead animals. Not in my cars though. Looks like they simply took the engine compartment padding material and made a nest in there. Very common really.

 

Checked mine yesterday. Covered in leaves, those helicopter things, dust, debris, dirt, you name it. It was really nasty. I hit them against the driveway and dislodged most of the crap, will call the parts store tomorrow to verify price and availability for new filters. 53k on my car, probably never changed for the 6 years its been on the road. Yuck

 

I drive my cars every day. And yet that still doesn't stop the mice from burrowing in and eating thru the cabin filter, the air filter, storing nuts in airboxes, and, my favorite, eating thru a fuel tank sending wire tripping a CEL! That cost me 150 clams.

 

ewwww

 

are you sure about that?
my AC is on when I turn it on.

 

looks like the previous owner was stashing his weed there

 

I....dont.....even.....want......to.......look.... at......mine.....

7 year old car / 84K miles.... Never been checked, This is going to suck...

 

I found squirrel droppings in mine when I checked mine yesterday. Alot of it.

This comes after I found 3 dead baby squirrels in my battery tray back in Winter when they tore out my firewall lining and chewed through some wire harnesses and grounds.

 

lmao you should have kept them as pets...

 

i just replaced mine like 10 mintues ago. im not gonna post the pics because its way worse than the dude that made this threads. but there were snails and rat doodoo

 

I agree with ATL-GP. I thought it was something else

 

Damn.. How do you guys get these creatures onto your cars? Curious where some people live..

 

You don't have to live anywhere special. I knew someone that had a cat get caught in the car, he smelled something "funny" when he got to work. BBQ kitty in engine compartment.

 

awww poor kitten.

 

i had the ole cat in the engine once... was absolutely horrible. i get sad just reading about it:
