The HVAC system on my 08MY was a bit smelly, not especially musty, just.... smelly.

Well spotted on those two, I must admit I have used the anti bac aerosols in the past and read the instructions, ignored them, and put them in the front foot well pointing at the HVAC unit... Foam stuff looks good to.... |

Did you take the clear plastic cover off of the drain tube & spray up the tube / ducting?. |

Its stainless steel, but yes, it looks like plastic in the photo... Its held in place by a T20 screw. I did spray the foam in from both sides but to be honest, you could probably do it from just one side. Make sure you put the cover back on as soon as you finish spraying the foam in so the muck goes out of the drain tube and not on the carpet! |

The potential problem with that approach is that most HVAC systems default to 'all flaps closed' when shut down, I can't honestly say whether the various iterations of the FFRR follow this scheme or not, getting the foam into the area where I wanted it by removing the caps shown above did get the results I was aiming for however. |

Good for you. For those who have smelly aircon due to lack of maintenance / use, the above may help. |
