Musty air con smell - wheres the intake ?

bob_a_builder

Got the dreaded smell from the air con, some sites say to spray 'lysol' into the air con intakes

But where are they on a Avensis ( this style one)

lysol sounds like a US product ?
if so what else is suitable.

thnx

No. Go to Halfords, and buy an air con bomb. The idea is, you start the engine, put the fans on full, and recirculate, put the tin in the car on the floor, set it off, and the gas from the tin kills the bacteria in the aircon system. Of course while this is happening (for about 10 minutes), you're not in the car. You're outside it, making sure no-one nicks the car.

I don't recall the brand name but just ask the monkey behind the counter for "that poisonous stuff that kills bacteria in your aircon system".

If you have a Lidl near you then they may have some fog bombs available.

Or reserve it online here and give the monkey your reservation number
