Smelliy Aircon 96 V6

[69.NIX]

just wondering if there are fixes that members know about. My aircon stinks after turning it off and on in the span of 5 mins.

Can I fix it myself??

Hi,

I was having this problem last year, but now seems to dissapeared B)

Try doing this:

- Turn off the Aircon

- Keeps the fan on LOW (I put it on HIGH)

- Make sure the the airflow is set "outside"

- do this for about 20sec-30sec.

do this after everytime you use the Aircon and the smell should go away. MAKE SURE after every use you set the AIRFLOW to OUTSIDE!

If that doesnt help go to supercheap or autobarn and ask the guys there for "Aircond Deodoriser" (i'm not sure the proper name for it)

I think its normal as on my old car and on my dads Apollo does exactly the same thing. Its kinda a wet-ish smell. All we do is turn off the AC but leave the fan going. You can still smell it but having the fan turned on cycles the smell faster and it gets fresh air inside.

jase told me this secret:

get some of that glade 20 stuff... and spray it directly up the vents for your feet... up as far as it will go... then you should be right..

alternatively, locate your air con filter and give it a spray with something nice... most corollas dont come with one, but your camry might..
