At a minimum, replace the pollen filter Posted by Ari [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: 9-5 moldy smell from hvac, tg123, Wed, 16 Feb 2005 12:48:55 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
If it hasn't already been done, replace the pollen cabin filter. All air coming into the system has to go through that filter first. It blocks pollen; I doubt leaves can get through.
However, I have seen pollen filters that looked like something out of Fear Factor, clogged with leaves and moldy. I usually pull the filter, and then use a shop vac to clean what I can reach in the box. Sometimes some leaves and such can sneak by.
Whenever I've had moldy/funky smells in the car, I've replaced the filter, and that usually fixes the problem. That, and a refrigerator box of baking soda left on the floor in the rear. There is a replacement interval for the filter, but that's the maximum time it should be in; that doesn't account for it getting clogged with gunk and rotting.
