smelly aircon





on the evaporator moisture builds up and in turn bacteria sets in this causes the smell at work we use a spray and sometimes a foam with an antibac agent in it to clear this, any a/c specialist can treat the car its not uncommon
 


cool ta for the help it was rather sickening trying to drive with it on so i started to think it might not be too good for me. atleast it was a nice day so could have the windows open
 


yeah easily sorted mate and usually they just put a long tube a bit like a straw down one of the air vent to spray it in, im presuming its the same method for clios so they shouldnt have to pull the car apart to do it
 


The easiest thing to do to kill the smell producing bacteria is to turn the AC up full blast on a reasonable length run, the heat produced will kill the bacteria.
 


isnt always enough, if the bacteria have got a hold. sometimes if there is moisture in the airbox it will form a puddle of smelly stagnant water in the bottom so really depends how bad it has got

Doesnt AC cool and dry the incoming air?

Renault do sell the anti-bacterial spray. Its an aerosol can with a long tube. Just poke it down all the dash air vents and it will leave your car smelling of oranges for days.

The aerosol bacterial spray is:-

£13.74 + VAT

Should be enough in the can for 2-3 treatments.

Didnt get the part number though as I have been SOOOOO busy today!

Should have said ANTI-BACTERIAL spray.

After all, who would want to spray bacteria in their car?
