Title: cant clear windows
Post by: NERF 69 on 18 April 2012, 14:15
Hi all,

Im having trouble clearing my windows. Its taking a while for my heaters to get up to temprature and i dont think my blowers are blowing at full capacity but i have nothing to compare to. Theres also a funny smell when i turn the heat on. Can anyone help me out at all because im as stuck as a tree at the minute. Thanks

thats after i rung a bucket full of water out of it. The problem was the cover for the pollen filter it looks as though the gibbon who replaced it last time yanked it out and broke it. A bit of fibre glass and a bit of bodgy bodgy all sorted windows now clear perfect thanks for all your input everyone

lol nice one. Id maybe get one of those anti bacterial sprays that you put in the car. Because the filter was wet there may be mould in the vent channels.

That might be a good idea the carpet in the passenger side footwell is damp and when i turn the heat up Theres an over powering fusty smell but now its all been changed and the heater been on for an hour the smell is starting to clear so i think its finally drying
