Going to need a vid of how you popped your hood by clicking your fingers. Is it a coded feature?

Thanks a bunch! I had already changed the 2 cabin filters and gotten zero improvement from an odor perspective. I did as you showed, but used orange scented Lysol and it's been great! Thanks for taking the time to make your video!

[donaldpainter]

They make a product called frigi fresh and it actually disolves any mold or dirt or anything that builds up inside your cars AC system but you should make sure your cabin filters are clean I've used the Lysol but professionaly when charging customer I buy the frigi fresh

I did same as you did but after 3 months the blower motor make noise from its bearing. Finally I took the motor out and lubricated it. Problem solved...

Thank you for the tip. I will try this on my e90. My family and I cannot stand the bad dirty sock odor. Even if I have to do this few times a year I dont mind since Its so easy to remove cabin filter. I work on my e90 all the time...

[jaypt]

shall i remove the cabin air filter for my f20 while spraying the lysol?

[samsenger]

good tip, i changed the cabin filter and it helped a bit so this task
is the next on my E60

I found mud and gunk on the sides of the cowl, where there is like a vent thing that holds leaves and sticks. I think thats why it smells bad in my car

[i_read_bad_reviews]

I put leather wafer air freshener . They last about 2 months . I drop them in there with a knot in the string hanging on the outside so it won't fall in.

[keileung]

believe the smell comes from the ac coil so need to go deeper into the ventillation system

[matreyia]

That lysol method will last only a short time. I tried many methods. The only long lasting one is actually spraying the insides of the vents all throughout and letting it dry. It's annoying to do.

[j.w.holmes]

Appreciate the help. My 535i no longer smells like a gym sock.

[jorgequintana]

Yes, I have done it once a year but last few weeks. I am going to try spraying the insides of the vents.

I have the same issue with my 435, how do I find the hvac van?

[shakkeappeal]

Hey man, great video! maybe you can help me out. So I’ve only had a Honda before, was my first car that i had for 10 years and i never had this problem. I bought a BMW last July and once it started heating up in Vegas this year i started noticing this smell coming out of the vents! It’s bad. I’m going to try this trick and i want to replace the cabin filters but what would be the cause of this? I would like to avoid in the future if I’m causing it

[rebeccaanderson]

Mine started with a vinegar type smell .bran new compressor 2013 .
Thanks soooo much -)))

[christophernagy]

Doing it the hard and correct way. Buy and change the cabin air filter and then buy/borrow an ozoneair generator.
Don’t waste your time in temporary solutions.

[maninscrubdallas]

Just change the cabin filter; bad smell most times is because of dirty filter; Lysol spray is short-lived and not quite healthy.

[TheLoneRanger]

Hi my AC doesn’t smell but my normal cold air does. Any tips on fixing that?
