When I drive my bug sometimes I hear a sound like PPPFFFFTTT. It seems to be coming from my seat. Following the sound there is a terrible smell. What could it be?

When it happens, get up immediately, and bury your face right in the bottom cushion, and take a BIG whiff, and see if you get a better clue about what it might be.

Try the SEARCH button! Rolling Eyes

If that fails to turn up anything, try wiping your ass AFTER you have a bowel movement. Laughing

Normally a bit of cork in your seat will help to contain the problem.... Then when you get out of the car, immediately find an elevator and remove the cork just before you get off the elevator.

And this only happens in the bug? And it doesn't happen in the notch?
Hmmm? I think that you need to give me that bug before it starts making your eyes water and drives your wife crazy.
