I blasted the heater on my way home an hour ago. No Pee-Pee Poo-Poo smell from the heater.

I get that in my car too. It's usually someone else's car burning a lot of fuel at one time, and it comes out of the exhaust, so unless you have a hole in your exhaust at the block, then I doubt it's your car making that smell.

It's just the residue from the plasic venting in the car. Some people have more sensitive noses than others, so it'll affect some more than others. It will go away, just takes a little time. It's more or less in most new cars. I smell it in every car I'm in, but I have a pretty sensitive nose. No biggie.
