Smokey Cabin

[crowncitycorey]

So, I was in Anaheim, Ca last Saturday during the area wildfires. The smoke was pretty bad and was making it like night time at 2pm.

It was so bad I had to wrap a bandana over my nose and mouth as I drove.

Anyway, now when I turn on the A/C it blows some pretty bad smoke stench. Would replacing the cabin filter fix this? It's an '03.

happened to me too, my car was sitting in the thick smoke outside, the fire was behind my house

i just let it run with the windows down in ECON for a long time and it's pretty much gone now

Hopefully your house came away unscathed.

Been running the A/C while driving (maybe 60-90 minutes total) for the last couple days and my perception, while driving, is that the smell goes away - when I get in the car and start fresh, there it is again.

I think the filter may be saturated with smoke. It was pretty thick!

Edit: On that note, maybe I need to replace the air filter too? The car is running fine though.

I would replace the cabin air filter and if it looked bad i would change my air filter too...but thats just my 2 cents haha
