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

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

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

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

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

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

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...

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

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!
