The airconditioning in the car, good evening smells!




by Lietseu » 24/11/08, 15:29

Bonjour à tous :D

With this catchy title ?! I'm coming to ask for advice!

For some time, when it is humid, the airco stinks of the M ... So that when I have steam in the windows, I have to turn down the heating, which causes cold air to pass through pipes and odor (without starting the airco, manifests itself again).
The garage owner to resolve this, the mania of using a spray (not yet identified), which he sprays in the system and which has a foul smell ... I would like to solve this problem myself ...

How to proceed :?:

PS, the body is a Ford Mondéo Break ...

Put a small (open) jar of baking soda!

It is an odor absorber ... completely green and almost free (compared to chemical deodorants that spin cancer ...) ...

By cons it is mainly preventive I do not know if it works curative ...

Otherwise throw a bombshell deodorant at admission : Cheesy:

ps: are you sure you don't have a beast bored under the hood?

On a Espace 95, if you don't always put the air conditioning on, even for nothing, afterwards, when you restart it, there is a smell of mold that lasts (hard, hard in summer…)

Certain that it is not a beast!

What say gegix confirms, but since I have this case, I have always used the airco periodically ...
(I'm starting to understand why the guys at Mercedes had explained to one of my old bosses that he should always leave his airco on : Cheesy: )

Hello the consumer!

But no problem, I will see if I can disassemble the pipes and wash them with soda salt (deodorization and cleaning effect guaranteed), I have no idea of ​​the complication of this one ... qq would have a plan or something simpler? :P

So is it really a smell of mold, swamp?

And not a smell of "shit" as you say.
The latter is very significant and occurs periodically, when the passengers forget themselves.
So we open the windows, and it goes ...

: Arrow: I also have the problem with the saffron ... :?

I added a pollen filter but the air pipes and the evaporator were already contaminated ...

I spray from time to time an "air conditioning system disinfectant cleaner". The smell disappears ... then comes back.
: Cry:

The car is sleeping outside, which doesn't help ...

My mechanic says that you can spray "fébreze" for less to remove odors from the laundry. I did not try.

On the Peugeot 806, dealers ended up removing the cabin filters. Placed just under the windshield, they filled with moisture and ended up "rotting", especially if the vehicle was parked in a poorly ventilated place ... : Shock:

Mine was devoid of it from the start. No smell to report in 12 years, and the air conditioning is only used occasionally ... 8)
