Air in car smells

[RichD978]

The cold fan air smells nasty.. when i put the a/c on its still there a lil but after a while its gone... what can this be caused from and how can i fix it

here's a couple links about that (BTW, I searched 'smell'):

Moldy smell from A/C

Annoying smell coming from air vents

Get some reusable silica gel containers and place them around the car... very good at keeping the moist musty air out and preventing mold/rust/fog inside. I have them velcro'd in the trunk and passenger areas, and one behind the clock under the dash.

Oh, also, spray some febreeze down all the vents and run them on high without the AC off for a few minutes; turn it on fresh air and spray febreeze through the cowl vent (under the windshield wipers) thoroughly; if that doesn't work, have the AC system cleaned next time you go to get it serviced (expensive but if mold's built up in the coils there it needs done). I have mold allergies and it drove me INSANE whenever I got in the car until I cleaned it all.

^^^^ lol, if its the interior that smells, get a box of baking soda and leave it open in your car over night and then remove it before you head out.....that'll give you the new car smell inside.

I would check the link Astro posted to get that funky smell out of your air vents.
