I have a 99 CRV that has a bit of a funk when the A/C is on. Tried a couple places last summer, but no one really knew what to do.

I saw some stuff in a spray can in the Photo Gallery that made me think to ask.

Thanks

 

Was it Klima Cleaner?

 

That looks to be it.


So you just spray it in, it does it thing. You're able to your A/C 30 minutes after that? Is there any residue or dust/dirt that you have to clean away?

Thanks

 

find the DIY on replacing the A/C cabin filter... i did that last summer and my a/c smelled much cleaner... you'd be amazed at how dirty the filters are when you change them...

 

^it's also REALLY easy to do... took me about 15 minutes and i didnt really know what i was doin

 

Usually the "funk" is bacteria and fungus growing in the moist condenser of the A/C .. the 1Z spray will do it ..

Replace those filters!

They are cheap and easy to replace.

 

Thanks for the information, but the problem is a 99 CRV, no cabin filter.

 

Thus the suggestion for the Klima Cleaner.

 

What's the consensus on Klima Cleaner? How well does it work? Also, with the TSX, we have the cabin filter - does this have to be removed when using the Klima Cleaner (I'm assuming the vapour of the spray works it's way back so wouldn't the cabin filter impede the flow of the spray?)

 

Oh...ok.

Wasn't aware...my bad.

Good luck with the funk.

 

Aso check the condensate drain (a small plastic tube) if this is partially blocked it will propogate mildew

 

^ That sounds like fun to clean!
