for me it works.. turn the A/C off 3-5 minutes before you arrive at your destination para naman hindi naka-idle ang makina.. sayang din sa gas yun.. based from experience yan.. namaho din kasi A/C namin noon eh.. hehe..

basta 3-5 minutes far to your destination.. patayin na A/C..

We have this 2008 Toyota Innova and whenever we turn on the aircon (naka park whether indoor or outdoor), may parang panis na amoy na lumalabas sa vents. Sabi daw ng mom ko dahil sa mga perfume na nakalagay sa car. Can this be true?? Thanks!

i've tried V7 car perfumes that you spray on the mats of the car.. then.. after kong i-spray yun.. namamaho siya kinabukasan.. that can be true.. or..

baka naman pinapatay mo lang ang A/C pagkapatay din ng makina? dapat 3-5 minutes before arriving to your destination.. patayin mo na A/C.. based on experience.. kasi yan din ang naging problema ko at yun din ang naging solution ko.. and it works..

It will not solve the problem.

The best is to have your A/C system cleaned especially the evaporator and the blower.

Mabaho and aircon ko specially sa back (Innova G ang car ko), what do you think is the problem?

if last time ng linis is more than 6 months try mo a clean aircon and revert back kung mabaho parin amoy.

[spyker]

I will try the 3-5 mins before arriving to destination, 'OFF A/C - blower ON' solution. 'Hope this works. Baho din ng A/C ng Honda, amoy damit na hindi natuyo sa sampayan. Nakakahiya, pag may bago kang passenger, mapagkamalan pang ako yung mabaho.

Try mong isabay pagpapalinis ng blower mo once nagpalinis ka ng a/c system. Usually ibinababad nila yan sa downy. Amoy downy na rin sya pagkakabit, hehehe. SOP sya sa Ceejay's sa may Alabang-Zapote Rd once nagpalinis ka ng a/c system sa kanila.

afaik lysol is lye based and evaporators are aluminum.

lye corrodes aluminum which may cause premature evaporator damage...

Best remedy (not exactly the cheapest and most convenient) is to have your aircon system flushed and cleaned. For sure, tangal yang unwanted odor.

Consider also the the way you park your car on your garage esp on inclines. Evap moisture drain hose must be at the lowest level as much as possible. may not be the supreme solution though.

di kaya sa aircon filter yun. sa akin minsan nangamoy yung FD, pinalitan ko yung aircon filter, nawala yung amoy. every year recommended yata to change yung filter sabi ng manual ng FD.

napansin ko after 6 months lang itim na yung originally white filter. ngayon check at linis ko muna at least every 6 months, every year, replace. Di ko na ulit naamoy yung amoy bulok na saging he he.

there are different smells to the aircon. one, smells like the ice tray of a refrigerator that had been off for a time. two, smells like a gym locker room, three, smells like horse crap. if there was a leak of refrigerant (R134a), it would smell like horse dung. if it smells like decaying aluminum, it had condensate sitting in the evaporator housing. best is to repair any leak and clean the drain pan and hose. then, you can use an ionizer or ozone deodorizer plugged into the cigarette lighter for at least two hours

Guys, I've had that problem din sa Innova ko. What I did was get some coal in a fine net and also some baking soda. Mga 2-3 days, nawala yung maisim na amoy. I place it under the driver's seat.
And if you're the adventurous kind, some say sliced onions attract all kinds of bacteria within an enclosed space. You'll know it's working when it suddenly turns dark in color when left usually overnight. I-despose daw agad yun sibuyas at puno yun ng bacteria.
I haven't tried the latter pero if you're really desperate...so I can not guarantee it... baka kasi ang next problem naman eh onion smelling naman rides natin...
Hope this helps...

Speaking of Innova, di ko pa naexperienced na mag-amoy panis ang cabin since I always use both front and rear aircon at the same time in tandem even if I'm alone. Mahaba ang Innova so if your front is cold and your rear is not then cabin condesation will occur on the rear specially when you are driving on hot sunny day, molds and bacteria will emit that musty damp cloth smell.

What I experienced was foul smell from my previous car freshner, what I did was just wash the cabin filter and the foul smell was gone.

Just make sure you're not in the car if you're using an ozone generator - ozone can damage your lungs.

Im also currently experiencing this on my 2012 innova... *#%&

[EVO-V]

Did you by any chance leave food?

[wayne888]

No i haven't... it smells every time I turn on the AC then disappears in a minute or 2 it started at the 2nd row AC, now both front and back AC's stinks when turned on for the first time... I think it comes from the inside the AC itself... I have used so many vehicles before, this is the 1st time i've experience this..., been turning on and off the AC the same way like our other vehicles so I don't think turning it off 3-5 mins before turning off the engine will help... but ived tried it anyway, and nothings changed. xD

and that is exactly what these cigarette ionizers generate: very small amounts of ozone. "amoy ng kuryente", 'ika nga.
