Title: Air Conditioning Cleaner
Post by SteveO on May 9^th, 2013, 9:11am

Can anyone recommend a good air-con cleaner. There a lots out there but I'd prefer a recommendation from here, if possible.

Mine has started to give off a really musty smell when turned on and I'd like to get rid of it.

Thanks,

Steve

Have you had the air con filters out? If they are sooted up or damp you'll get that effect.

If it smells of curry you need to check the heater matrix!!, ::)

Filters are nice and new. I'd just like to give the pipes a good clean and disinfect. There are various aerosols that lock open and discharge whilst the air-con is set to recirculate the air in the cabin. I'd just like to know if anyone has used one and if it worked ok.

I done mine a couple of years ago with a can from Aldi, I didn't notice any difference after it was done to be honest.

I used the one from Aldi and didn't notice any difference either
