My air con stinks
« on: 20 July 2009, 19:08 »
Right, might be in the wrong section but I need help. My air con stinks... like cheesy feet.
What could be causing this and how can I sort it out??

When was your air con last serviced, not just regassed ? The reason I ask is because when my mate services air con units in cars he fills the system from the pollen filter end with a spray that not only smells nice but also disinfects the whole heater/air con system of pipes and vents it also prevents the possible risk of legionella.

Aldi are selling an aerosol thing for £1.99. I read the instructions briefly it seems you leave the aircon on for 10 minutes with this aerosol on, you cant be in the car when you're doing this. It cleans the whole system apparently.
