Mabahong A/C, what do you think is the problem?

Malakas ka siguro mag thermostat at patay agad pagdating sa destination, ganun rin KASI gawa dyan nung nasa planta pa lang, todo dito todo dun. I suggest gawing habit ang thermostat off (a/c button) with fan on few minutes before shutting down para matuyo ang linya. Maalis yan and would also help your battery for the next start.

Nung brand new XTO ko ganyan rin – amoy pawis na panis :doh: ke bago-bago. ganun lang ginawa ko, ambango na ngayon – 7 years without cleaning with only 30+K kms.

also stay away from gel air freshner esp yung mga citrus - umaasim amoy nyan pag tagal.

CHECK NA LANG PO SEARCH BUTTON, dami na discussion about this.

sir, i suggest kapag e switch on n po ung a/c mag open po kayo ng window para makasingaw ang bad odor or use lysol antibac... ang cause po ng bad odor e ung mga bagay n new like rubber matting or plastic.... nag kakaron po kc ng reaction s evaporator coil, n dikit po kc ang amoy s evaporator,...

lysol, 2 types. lysol antibacteria and lysol anti-mold/mildew. on mo a/c at full fan speed then spray the 2 types of lysol at the aircon evaporator (fan suction side ha). then turn off, open doors/windows under the sun to remove lysol smell. pag di pa din makuha e recommended for cleaning na yang evaporator mo sir.

you can also try buying an air ionizer, but don't use it everyday as it generates ozone to kill off bacteria in the air. ozone is bad for your health kasi. i use mine once a week only, and only for a few minutes before i turn off the engine at night para mababad yung air sa car with ozone at madedo lahat ng bacteria dun sa loob.

Yebo..reg dun sa pag apply nung solution..san nga ba yung aircon evaporator na yan?..ehehehe, sensya na din..newbie din.

Thanks

mga sirs,

may naka try na ba sa mga solutions na recommended previously, regarding the foul smell when starting the a/c? yung pag off ng compressor while naka on ang blower before leaving your car is effective ba?

thanks!

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!

It's possible. Perfume is based on natural scent oils and these can stick to certain surfaces (including the ducting of the A/C vents). As these oils age or react with bacteria/fungus, they can start smelling bad.

You can have the A/C cleaned and maybe the vents as well. Sometimes the A/C evaporator gets dirty and have fungi growing on it or dirty water accumulates there too. Cleaning should help there too.
