Does anyone ever remember a glue type smell with there Kia? It comes from the vents and smells like heavy glue. Nasty.

been nothing but trouble so the oder is the last of my worries

The smell could be a hole in your heater coil. Does the defrost work?

anormally, ...like, it clears the water moisture, but replaces it with a greasy film of coolant...?(I wish you say no).

Gas/fuel leakage has been a problem for some. The hose for the furel leaks and allows the smell to get in. I hope it is not your heater core. It is a HUGE major job to replace.
