Air-con maintainance

[Guest Merc-C]

Hi guys,

My car aircon has a foul smell every morning upon start up, but once I drive off after awile the smell is gone.

Think need to go for some aircon cleaning, any good place to recommend?

TIA!!!

Turn the temperature dial all the way to the hottest setting, recirc off, fan speed on full blast. Get out of the car and let it run for at least 3-5mins. The smell should go away. You have to do it dilligently at least once a week.

Will try it out.

Had the same issue with my w204 - horrible smell almost every day for about 30-60seconds. Eventually, Pandan loop people re-programmed the AC control to dry the system. Been several months and almost no smell. If in warranty, give it a shot with your service advisor.

Thanks bro,

No more warranty so gotta find other means to resolve

Just to update,

Went to my regular air-con guy to check it out.

He did some checks, pumped gas and changed the filter.

Next day when I started my car, no more smell!

Problem solved!

Hi Merc-C,

Can you PM me the contact info for your aircon guy?

In case the smell comes back to my aircon.
