Most I have seen have said to put the can in the rear footwell and leave the doors closed and HVAC on recirc for around 15mins... I had a smelly car once and put it in the front foot well pointed up towards the bulkhead which is where, I believe, the recirc draws air from, and the car stunk of the cleaner for weeks...

I've been through Topix again, still no real clue although I do agree that it has to be at the sides of the heater box as that's where the actuator & flaps are. I think I'm going to take the centre side cheeks off in the footwells and point a can each side up the side of the heater box with the fan on 50%, recirc. on manual, distribution manually set to 'everything' and the temp on whatever the ambient is, that way it'll clean both the heat exchanger and the evaporator. Yep, it'll smell a bit 'chemical' for a few days but it'll be better than the current smell which is as mixture of 'stale cigar smoke' and 'child'...

It's drawn from the pollen filter housing behind the glove box.

No worries - it does get a bit confusing sometimes as there is so much crossover. |
