HI . yesterday the misses and i where going shopping at the local store, it was pretty hot, so i put on the AC.
After a minute or so, i smell this strange odour, i thougt i had wet myself!
But luckly it wasn`t me or the misses!
I wonder were the smell is coming from?
PLEASE HELP
THANKS!:cry:
 
Chances are it's bacteria in your air con, if you haven't used it for a while. You can get Comma air con cleaner to sort your problem out, but I'd recommend using it more often.
 
Check the condition of your pollen filter, as if it's not been changed in a while it's probably in a very unhealthy state! Cheap to replace though :yes:
 
this may be a stupid question, where is the pollen filter?
 
it will be the aircon. usually i get it when i have been using the aircon and then switch it off.

i just leave it on all the time now. not noticed any loss of MPG either. Best of all - car does not smell of stale pi$$, not tried switching it off lately though :confused:
 
replaced the pollen filter, £10.00 from halfords!
seems to have stoped the smell!
cheers dudes!!

I WOULD GO FOR THE AIR CON CLEANER AS WELL...COMMA OR ANY AIR CON CLEANER.. £10 OR LESS...EASY TO USE..I DID IT TO MINE THE OTHER MONTH CAUSE OF THE PEE SMELL FROM THE VENTS..ALREADY HAD THE FILTER CHANGED DUE TO AUTO WINDSCREENS SCREWING IT UP WHEN THEY DID THE WINDOW..COWBOYS...
STILL HAD THE SMELL AFTER THE FILTER WAS FITTED SO THATS WHY I DID THE AIR CON CLEANER...SMELLS OF ORANGES NOW...MMMMM..
THE SMELL IS AS SAID BEFORE "BACTERIA" IN YOUR PIPES THE GROW WHEN THE AIR CON ISN'T USED FOR A BIT.

Just went to my local halfords and they said they couldn't get hold of a pollen filter for my 04 leon ;[ Please don't tell me that i have to go to the stealers :(
 
My mum must have been in your car a few minutes before. Shes a dirty skank and she probably pished on your seat. (I can say this about my mum........she maxed up my credit card when I was ''inside'' and crashed my Lexus Is 200 sport, it was written off and the insurance wouldnt cover it as I didnt know she was driving and she wasnt insured. She then told my whole family I was gay before hitting me over the head with a pint glass)

Rant over.......was 5 years ago and I still havent spoken to her since. (oh and I wasnt and am still not gay)
 
although the change of panel filter has appeared to solve this, i would still say the air con is the most likely.

If you get this, (usually when you havnt used the air con for some time) the smell will be potent initially but goes was a bit of use. Therefore at £5 the tesco aircon cleaner may be a good idea anyway.
 
once a week

i run my air con for 5 mins once a week , apparnently stops it going flat and no need for a recharge. seems to work so far ive had the car 2 yrs and no problems.
