Foul Smell From Air Con

[sloutch]

Hi guys,

only recently i'm smelling this gross smell from the aircon whenever i turn it on or just let the air from outside flow in. Does it mean i have to change the air con filter? Any other issues besides that?

Cheers

how?

follow your nose. and i'm serious. the main uni is behind the glove box i'm pretty sure. don't know where it comes into the car though. will it still smell if you put the air con on recirculate?

No when it's on recirculate it doesn't stink. Only when i allow outside air to flow in it'll smell.

maybe something fell into one of the vents near the windscreen? (i have no idea)

u may have bacteria growing in ur vents. there is a special spray u can use to spray into the vent to kill it. or try using your heater on full blast after you use the aircon.

Thanks for the replies guys. Guess i'll make a trip down to Autobarn and ask them for the 'spray'
