"sour" air

Sep 19, 2005 3 Replies

When I run the A/C on my S-90, the air smells sour. Any ideas what's causing it or how to fix the problem?


Sounds like you are driving a lemon!!

When ou use the air and park the car, does water drip out the bottom somehwere? If not, then the drain hose under the evaporator in teh car is clogged. Otherwise there is a growth of some sort in the system (like algae, fungus, etc.) from teh humidity that is causing it. This has been recently discussed. Start with the thread: algae growth in climate control system and maybe do a Google in teh group for related topics.
