Somewhere I recall reading about a cure for this. Did it involve ammonia in a bowl in the car with the system running? Killing the bacteria? Advice please if this rings a bell with anyone. Thanks

Neutradol/oust up the vents - put AC on and keep windows closed run for 30 mins
|
Just sorted this myself at the weekend. Also set system to recirculate and open all the dashboard vents.
Stay outside vehicle and supervise ! Drank a coffee myself while waiting. Expect car to be pongy for a day or so. Musty smell has now gone.

Very simple. With windows closed ( who'd open them this weather anyway ? ) run the aircon on max heat for 10 mins ( more if you can stand it ) This will kill of the source of the smell.

That's funny. My damp washing smells like old air con!
What about a bowl of white vinegar left in the car overnight. French butchers use it to freshen up their shops (or so I've read).
|
Tried maximum heat alone first in my Hyundai. Did not work in my Passat either. Hence the Neutradol method.
|
Often a change of the pollen/air con system filter can solve this. Check the filter out and change if it is very smelly, very old and/or very wet!
