I did once during heavy bumper to bumper traffic... If its the flaps that suck in the air to the rear cabin then they should have installed a rear aircon oem filter in it as well IMHO.

Any kind of aircon maski pang bahay or pang kotse mas ok fan muna kasi hindi pa basa evaporator para ibuga niya palabas alikabok at kung mag circulate hangin sasaluhin ng filter. (Innovas na bago may Ionizer na para maalis baho ng aircon, di ko alam kung meron ang luma). Then pag wala na sa feel mo na dust or the like, turn on compressor para lumamig. Yun ang dahilan para tumagal bago magpalinis ng aircon. (BTW I worked at Fujitsu Aircons in the past at yun ang turo ng Japanese sa amin) Sa house aircon malakas din starting current kaya hindi din dapat low cool or high cool agad pag on ng aircon. Sa sasakyan pag umaandar na endine bago ibukas aircon walang bearing yun as compared to house aircon. Ang masama is iniwan mo na naka on aircon at compressor at nag start ka. That is additional 20 to 30 % load sa engine pag start.

If gusto ninyo ng mura at hindi manloloko na gumagawa ng aircon go to Lyrica dating Krilon sa Banawe corner Agno street. Loo for Lanie (supervisor) and Ron (pinaka expert sa aircon dun) Marami na ako pinagawa sa kanila na sasakyan since 1996 at ok lahat. Yung mga hindi mapabuti ng lamig ng iba, sa kanila nagiging ok. Mura doon pati after market accy ng Innova. Example mud guard ng Innova 900 na ang set of 4 libre kabit. Rain Guard 900 din libre kabit, etc etc. Mababait pa sila pwede rin credit card.

Had my innova aircon cleaned at RACS felix avenue cainta. ok naman yung linis, kaso hindi nila naibalik ng maayos yung dashboard. nagtataka ako kung bakit walang makuhang FM station ang radio ko after ako nagpalinis. di pala nila kinabit yung antenna sa likod ng radyo. pinagpalit din nila yung gas cover and hood access. medyo may kalampag na rin yung dashboard ko after ako nagpalinis sa kanila. sa presyong 6k, sa casa nalang sana ako nagpalinis. di na ko babalik sa shop na to.

mga ka-Innova,


kindly post all queries here regarding proper aircon maintenance of our beloved Innovas.

Hi, any recommended shop po near mandaluyong city? 70k na mileage unit ko, ok pa naman aircon but need to check na ito baka pag nasira mas malala ty

Be careful lang sa airon cleaning, baklas lahat yan and baka may mga parts or bolt na makaligtaan ikabit pag binalik na.

I can recommend CarBase in banawe area. :-)

Our Innova's aircon suddenly smelled bad (maasim).
Removed and cleaned the aircon filter but it seems the smell is still there.
Auto shops are closed as it election day yesterday but I will still change the filter.

Any other possible causes and solution for this?

I read about sprying lysol in the evaporator. Is is easy to access the evaporator in the Innova? I was actually thinking about this last but when I tooki off the filter, I say the blower fan and not the evaporator.

My Innova is just 7 months old and I dont want the AC to be serviced that soon.

Gruesome. Baklas dashboard.

if you do not the want hassle of dashboard removal in the shops here's a DIY
1. buy a can of lysol spray
2. go to open space area.
3. open all windows
4. star the engine, turn on a/c & all the fans full blast on refresh mode
5. spray the lysol into the intake air vents both front and rear (left right under for rear)
6. clean the cabin air filter. if you feel it needs replacement as much as possible find one with carbon filament, (hard to find thou)

Thanks!

This is what I've been thinking but I am a little bit apprehensive because on the possible effect of the lysol mist on the blower fan.
Do you think the lysol wont affect the blower?

Another question, is about the vents. Are the vents located in the engine bay or inside the passenger cabin?

What is the position of the aircon components relative to the movement of air?

cabin filter ---> blower -----> evaporator -----> air vents (driver and passengers)

Try F.T. Laqui Car Aircon shop in Barangaka Drive or Calbayog Sts.

Just a question...

Is the rear aircon turned ON as well? usual practice for me is to always turn it on as well even if it's just me in the car... noticed the "vinegar like smell" if rear aircon is off.

[MrQ5]

i think the vents are in the cowl, you can see the intake vents near that wiper arms.

on the "refresh mode" blower you will feel the suction of intake.

intake air vents - cabin filter - blower - evaporator - louver is the movement of the air.

if your concerned is short circuiting the blower from spraying a can of lysol I think not. Imagine our rainy season.

CAUTION: you must not be inside the vehicle once you sprayed the lysol.

May idea ba kayo how much palinis ng aircon sa casa? Katakot kasi sa labas baka di nila maibalik ng maigi yung dashboard. Quote sa speedyfix is 5.5k...
Hina na kasi ng buga aircon ng 2006 innova namin, first time lang ko magpapalinis.
