    guys the stuff you need to fix it properly is coil cleaner. Go to an aircon place like heatcraft or actrol and ask for it there.

    I bet you find you don't get the smell when you don't recirculate the air. And yeah, wet air filters in the system do get stinkey - run it with outside air coming in fairly regularly to give it a dry out once you fix it - to hopefully stop it happening again.

    Mine is pretty smelly too. I gave it a good dose of Glen 20 with both AC recirculate on and off.

    I think I also need to change the cabin pollen filter but after removing my glovebox the closest thing I could see was a black sponge type filter on the left but I don't think that's the one. Any ideas where the pollen filter is?

    Also, my AC does not appear to be draining any water out of the car after having the aircon on for 20 mins on a hot day. Where do I start with fixing this?

    It's an '89 model Maverick DA (Patrol GQ) if that helps.

    Cheers,
    Mav

    If the condensation is not draining, it will stink.
    You need to find the drain tube and clear it, probably full of fluff and dust etc.
    Cheers, the ferret.

    Was reading this in memory of my troll having that same real funky smelly sock smell. Turns out my a/c evap was leaking and the smell was the gas. Replaced the evap, re gassed it and all good.
