Air con cleaning

plumbfisher · May 25, 2015

Good morning,
musty smell that catches your throat on start up - after a search on here thought that I should clean the air con. Got a cleaning 'bomb' and it says to switch to recirculate and then set it off behind the passenger seat. I want to make sure I get a real good disinfection of all parts of the system. Where are the intakes for the recirculated air? (ie. not fresh through the pollen filters) Should I squirt a bit in the pollen filters anyway? Should I run it cold as poss?
thanks

When I did mine I remover the pollen filters and sprayed into the inlets then put it on recirculate. The aerosol I used stopped spraying when I released the button. When I did the Jag the aerosol was a one press and it didn't stop until it was empty. The label on the can sail to set the A/C on full, recirculate and put it in the pass. footwell, shut the door and run.

Recirculation flaps, motors and inlet are in the inlet from the intake plenum behind the heater blowers.

Thanks chaps - seems that I can squirt a bit and then lock the aerosol on, so I'll do a bit into the fresh air intakes and then do the recirculation too
Here goes...
