last SG · 2005-05-07T15:29:15+00:00

digicharat, I bought my air revitalizer at a Shell petrol station in Jurong West. You should find one in any other SHell station, or you can pop in to a Wat...

need help leh...
my car when on air con after starting up got this funny stale smell leh...
sometime got sometime no have.... funny lor....
how come ah? especially when under hot sun more chances of having the smell leh...

ditzy SG

Something is dying inside there. Laughing Try opening the vents full, don't switch it on. Blow it dry. Possibly some moisture in there trying to escape.

digicharat SG

you mean is open the vent let the air from outside come into the car that mode ah?
and on the fan but not the air con to blow dry si bo?

ditzy SG

Yeah, do whatever it takes to dry the internal. Do it on a day when its less humid.

Drivin a toyota?My g9 corolla also has that stench at times..

Apollo_sg SG

could b smell of mildew (mild bacteria growth), try parking in a sunny place once in a while.

there is no permanent solution but you can goto CAS for a 2 stage aircon servicing where they use chemical to wash down the evaporator and tat will take care of the foul smell.

or u can use an air ioniser which also works quite well.

one thing though, if u hv those cheap car perfume, get rid of them. rancid can b created. rancid is also created when u spill stuff like coffee/ drinks/ etc in the ride.

What I do to combat moisture and smelly aircon:

>> Buy and break open two or three packs of Thirsty Hippo dehumidifier packs inside your car.

These should last about 3 months.

Cheap, and works.

digicharat SG

Mildew in condenser. Before reaching home or office wadeva, switch to ext air intake for a while to dry out the condenser esp on a dry day. parking the car under sun wont really help, need to have dry air blown thru. Also, if u carry stuff which smells v strong ie durian etc right, try to drive with window down and air con switch to ext air also so the smell wont stick inside the condenser. dunno why hot day smell worse tho maybe condensation inside the thing. can also change air con filter if needed (inside dashboard one), some got nice scent. hope this helps.

Dun know if the smelly smell is the same as mine but ask you a question k, do you use air fresherner that is place directly at front of a/c vents? if you do, remove the scent and leave for a few days, mine disappeared after about a day … taught to me by my friendly a/c service guy. didn’t service receiver drier or condencer etc…try it and let us know…
