'87 740 A/C stink

I'll attach my own treatment for this problem. At least it's non-toxic...

and if this doesn't work, just drink the cheap Vodka and you won't care if the car smells or not! :^ )

Yup, with vodka in your blood, theres no need for the car for a day or so. Don´t drink and drive (cause you can´t see the road for yourbottle). :)

I pulled the fan and resistor out over the weekend and hosed the evaporator down with lysol because I happened to have some on hand. If that doesn't last I'll try the vodka trick, though I'm not sure what's worse, the rotten milk stink or the cheap vodka stink.

The vodka is just to kill the live mold. You need the vinegar as well for any lasting protection. I used to use Lysol, but it's nasty stuff. The canned A/C spray is even worse, at least to my nose.

The cheap vodka stink might be quite interesting if you get pulled over and the cop sticks his head in the window...

I know an A/C guy that says just use Clorox it will kill anything that is growing on your coils instantly.

Kidding aside ... i work at making cigars and deal with mold a lot.

A good wipedown with laundry bleach is the ticket. Leave it on for about 1 hour and then wipe with moist rag. This kills bacteria too.

Also see why the pan collected water. Plugged drain?

If you guys want to breathe chlorine, be my guest. I'll stick with the alcohol/vinegar mixture and save some lung tissue...
