Default Car air-conditioning smells

Condenser coil water drain nipple is probably plugged up. When AC is
on you should get water dripping under the front of the car. It
should come from a rubber hose with a flat nipple on the end.
Squeeze the nipple till it vents. (OOPS)


Is that likely to be a problem on a car only 6 months old?


Looking at a Focus handbook I note they say the aircon should be run for at
least 30minutes at least once per month.
Friend's new Saab with aircon does not smell at all but he keeps aircon on
all the time as company are paying for petrol :-)
