    good day sa inyo. My aunt's car is a 97 honda civic. Napansin namin meron parang maliliit na black foam stuck sa aircon vent. Nung tinatanggal ko nadudurog siya. After a few days meron ulit. Saan kaya ito galing and may naka experience na ba sa inyo ng ganito? Malaking trabaho kaya pag papaayos ito? Ang concern kasi namin baka marami pang durog na foam and masama kasi pag na inhale mga particles nito.

    Hmmm..could it be that somehow your coolant is leaking or having a chemical reaction with another compound in your aircon-system? I recommend that you bring it to an aircon shop ASAP.

    common yan with old civics, the foam used on the a/c parts become brittle and self destruct eventually. my old ek had that too, so far with her new owner wla naman prblema so i'd say dont wori about it.

    insulation lang yan nung mga air ducts/vents. tama si sir bluebimmer, don't worry about it, tanggalin mo lang agad pag may nakita ka at baka masinghot mo pa, hehe

    oo nga masama daw pag nasinghot mga particles nito eh. saka baka maraming tatanggalin pag papaayos, baka masira pa yung aircon. Lahat kaya ng kotse meron ganito or civics lang?

    may napansin din akong ganyan sa galant ko. parang medyo oily. just clean it with cotton buds or pa vacuum mo lang ok na yan. di naman umiikot yan sa air dahil heavy. unlike dusts.

    meron sa 96 civic ko. Ang ginagawa ko lang pag kameron sa aircon vent ilalagay ko sa max para tangal kaagad. siguro seal ito sa flapper na nagiisolate between cabin and outside air. kasi napapnsin ko pagmausok parang pmapasok sa loob siguro ito ang seal na nadurog na kaya pumapasok ang amoy.

    Moks, simple lang pre, close mo mga vent and leave one open lang, then takpan mo ng large plastic bag sa vent, then turn on sa "4" yung fan ng blower... Liliparin yung mga foam na yan. Daming ganun na Civic pag nagpapainterior, ang dumi nun kung dumikit sa textile.

    Common problem iyan sa mga Japanese vehicles. Most of them used foam as seals and anti-rattle in the climate control vent selectors. On some models, the foam just gets trapped and are not expelled outn.

    My rig used to do that, too. Naubos na ata ang foam. :lol:
