Smelly Aircon

(1/2) > >>

Yellow:
Anyone else experienced this?

I didn't use the aircon all winter and now the weather's a bit nicer I've turned it on, every time I do it stinks.

stealthwolf:
Isn't it the filters that need changing?
Or an aircon "refresh" (change of air con fluid)?

v2brett:
hi mate you might want to try an aircon cleaner like this; linky   and if that doesnt do the trick you might need an aircon recharge/ regas  :happy2:

Drapoon:
They work really well - set it off & leave it in your pass footwell, set air con to max & re-circulating air. Then leave the engine running with all the windows closed until the mist clears.

Always treat my cars to one of these after winter to debug the system - it's just stale water basically that you're smelling.




 

nc35:
Going to do mine today after the aircon recharge.

Got the little kit from Aldi of all places about £3.

Aldi also sell perfect drying towels when in stock.
