As it seems the sound & smell came from the part between the engine compartiment and the dash, there's a small compartment there that you can screw the lid of, the little hose with the windshield washer fluid goes in there. As far as I can recollect, the sound did not come from inside the dash, because when I was placing the unit back I was with my head very close to the dash, and should have heard it more clearly. I had the right fron door open when it happened, and it sounded as if it came from underneith the car. When I opened the hood, I hardly smelled it anymore. In the meantime I hav driven the car twice, and noticed that the ACC seems to work well, though it is too cold out here to actually notice if cold air is blowing in, bu I do notice the small shocks that occurr when the compressor is shifing on or off. Thanks!
