Default Car air-conditioning smells

In the end, the kind people at Saab agreed to deal with it as a warranty
repair - I must say I was rather surprised. My wife took it in, but she has
no idea what they did.



Probably stick a bucket under the vents, and put an airline on the drain
pipe. That cleras the drain and blows all water into teh footwell.

Then inject with anti-fingal/bvactaeial/nice smell and blow it in again.

I used to have an old XJS that would dump a half pint of icy water over
the passengers leg on fast corners :-)

Took it to the dealership, where they did that. Took 5 seconds and fixed it completely.


The musty smells gradually faded out.



Oh well.

Don't Saabs have aircon filters?
They could be removed and washed or changed.

It's bacterial growth in the heat exchanger. Micro filters are usually
just on the fresh air intake. I'm not sure where the bacteria comes from,
but it could even be the person.
