    Cabin air Filter

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys,

    So my ac would smell really bad when starting it up, so I changed out my Cabin air Filter. The smell went away for about a month, but now it's back... What could be causing this issue?

    Let me know when you find it. I'll do some research myself to try and find it.

    There should be a low point drain for the evaporator under the car to drain any condensation build up. It looks like, at least from the diagrams that you can access it from the passenger cabin. If you can get a deodorizer spray with a long nozzle in there it should help eliminate that smell. Also, make sure that your opening on your wiper cowl/plenum isn't plugged up with leaves and debris.
