Hi Lauren. Good to see you back. Next time that you talk to the dealer ask how to access your interior filters. Probably under a cover with a couple of screws. Clean or replace those when you do the Ozium.

Hi Jimmie,
You are so cool. :-)
I sprayed it through the front like they told me to do, so we will see how she smells tomorrow. If not, you are very right - I will need to get under the hood.
You think, for the amounts these puppies cost they would not smell of mold.
I should not have to buy Ozium.
Toyota, where are my NEW SUPRAS??????!
Gratefully,
Lauren

When you use your AC, turn the AC off but leave the fan running {on high if possible} a mile or so before you know you'll be shutting down the car. This will dry out all the condensation on the coils and won't promote mold.

yah...my honda had the same problem...so did my first 350z...its just one of those things that are almost impossible to engineer around...its just the nature of AC systems to build condensation which then can create mildew/mold....they say good practices are to turn the ac of a couple minutes before you stop driving...and cleaning out the air filters...and spraying mildew cleaner into the intake vent usually found in front of the windshield....

I have never had this happen, nor has anyone in my family or my husban's. I am very surprised. My Hondas never did it....weird.
Thanks for the input!

When you no longer feel cool air coming out of the AC system than it's safe to say no condensation will form on the coils. It's the temp difference that cause the moisture.

My GF had a very musty smell coming out of her vents in the Corolla. I located her cabin air filter (behind the glove box), put a new one in and now the smell is gone. The Ozium stuff would work if the smell is in the vents somewhere but it'll only mask the smell if it is indeed the filter. BTW there's only 35,000 miles on her car and the filter was gross.

my brother had a honda at the same time as well and his was fine...my new 350z doesnt have the smell at all...just the luck of the draw i guess...my mom's 1988 volvo had it bad...always smelled like a bathroom at the beach
