aircon / fan smell

[indy88]

I get a damp/mouldy smell from the fans in my 350z, the smell only occurs if Air con if off, as soon as it is switched on the smell goes.

 

Either way I would like to get rid of the smell, ive read around that a simple air con cleaner (spray will do the trick)

 

Any brands that are recommended? - also where do you used the spray?

Usually get the Air con Cleaner by Comma, available at Halfords.

Start car, put fans on, do NOT put on recirculate, put passenger chair all the way forward, pull pin on smoker bomb thing, leave car for a good 20 mins.

Does it always smell damp and mouldy when the ac is off, or just for a short while after turning it off?

 

I think I read somewhere that once in a while you should turn heater to max for a few mins to kill off any bacteria?

If you use the aircon all year round you wont get any problems

but the Comma stuff does sort it out if you dont

cheers, the smell only comes from the fans when ac if off, never tested how long the smell lasted as i couldnt bear it and put a/c on immediatley lol.

 

Will try putting heat on max to see if it gets rid of the smell, if not will get the comma stuff

 

thanks for the advice guys
