I would be wary of putting it in through the vents after Phil's experience. Others suggest the drain tubes accessed under the car- I went in through the evaporator side panel in the passenger footwell so I could see how much I was putting in. I removed the vent cover, the carpet side panel and the lower four (of six ) screws. This allowed me to wedge the cover ajar and squirt in the amount of foam that I could see was needed. Hope that helps. Last edited by bigblue75; 25th May 2018 at 17:49.. Reason: autocorrect correction |

I've just ordered some Klima-Clean from the bay as l'd like to banish the full-hoover bag smell my recirculation button brings out.
I was under the car last week & the aircon drain pipes are quite accessible though l may decide to try the footwell vent method. I also need a compressor too though so my aircon isn't in action at present which will soon be rectified hopefully.

New pollen filter
Just to update, after cleaning the air con evaporator matrix again the car had odour free air conditioning but I still had a hint of wet dog/ full hoover bag/ sweaty feet when the unit was set to economy and recirculation was off.
A new carbon activated pollen filter has sorted the problem (opie oils LAK243 Mahle) and I'm looking forward to a summer of cool fresh clean air. |

I can't access that link, Simon.
Andy (Shiner on here) diagnosed the compressor fault. He said it's not switching in properly & likely has a good replacement. I also have a new condenser to be fitted as mine is falling apart so l'm hoping to pay him a visit at his new work premises soon to get the system up & running again.

Ah, that's better. Thank you, Simon. I was wondering about removal of the pipes to avoid the kinks but that method of doing it from the footwells seems the way to go. I generally only get the smell in recirculation mode, either with aircon' or econ in action. I'm wondering whether l should use the spray when it arrives or wait until the aircon system is functioning properly?

I had a slight pong beginning in my car, so went on the net after reading the first post on this. I found a site that was selling Wynns aircon pong cleaner.It was in 250ml cans, enough for two cleans. This was for 12 cans, and was the princely sum of £19.99, free delivery. And it really works. I took the pollen filter out, chance to see what it was like, and vac the plenum out at the same time. Filter not that bad but still changed it, always carry a spare in the shed. This then revealed the large hole that lurks behind it. Suggested one way of doing the job is to remove the pollen filter, and spray half a canister into the hole where the filter was.Turn the heater on, put it on cold and fast speed, and make sure, in our case, that the light on the recirculating button is off, so you are only drawing air from outside the car. I sprayed half a can into the hole in bursts of around 3 seconds for three minutes and now have a smell free car. The company I bought it from was:- Westway Lubricants
