Hahaha, so true

Good deal - it is well worth the time to do it right. Mine is still smelling fine.

Love the wagons - keep it going!

Great - glad you got it cleaned!

Thanks. Another tip that I read about and have tried is to turn off the AC and keep the fan on for the last few minutes of each trip. This is supposed to help dry out the condenser area. I have tried this and think that it helps keep they musty smell away even longer.

@@ljschuby99 Holy true and this rule should keep everybody in mind!

Yes, this should work for you - good luck.

Good deal. Just an update, I just turned on the AC for the first time this year, and the smell is still gone.

Thanks - hopefully the new cabin filter will help. Mine really needed the spray cleaner too. I am also getting into the habit of turning off the AC and leaving the fan going for the last few minutes of the drive when going home, which will help dry out the system and prevent future issues.

Thanks - I will say that it is worth the time to clean it. my AC still smells clean.

It worked - mine is still good after the one treatment.

The tube is not too long, and it will have to curve around to get to the evaporator area, so you can put it in as far as it will go.

Trevor Elvis great, thank you!

The issue is getting the solution past the fan and onto the evaporator. Going through the filter area will only get into the blower motor. You could try going up through the drain tube instead, you just need to make sure that the cleaner is filling the cavity and covering the evaporator.

No, I did not remove the plate. The liquid from the foam drained out of the AC drain underneath the car.

Yes, theoretically you could go from the engine bay. The opening under the hood is above the passenger side, so you would have to enter and guide the applicator down and toward the center area so you could get to the condenser area. It’s just easier to get to from under the dash.

Yes, you can get into the area from the top when the cabin filter is removed. It just may not get into the bottom where the issue could be. You could definitely try that way first to see it takes care of the problem.

Spraying it into the vents may not get the coverage needed to take care of the problem vs spraying directly into the evaporator cavity.

You will be able to get more of the cleaning foam into the condenser if you remove the blower. Going in from above, you would likely not be able to get all the way into the condenser area to get rid of the problem.

@@ljschuby99 Thanks for the clarification. :)

Good idea to add the vent cleaner.

@@ljschuby99 thanks for the video, it helped a lot, diy is the reason i own my e92

i dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost my password. I love any assistance you can offer me.

@Moses Magnus Instablaster ;)

@Alberto Jackson i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

@Alberto Jackson It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much you really help me out :D

@Moses Magnus Happy to help =)

You do not have to remove the air filter unless it is dirty and needs to be changed. I just did that to show another view of the area.

ljschuby99 thanks!

Yes, the evaporator is located in the area behind the radio buttons.

@@ljschuby99 can you please write the spell the word "sano conso" area that you mentioned? Ah. Behind of radio button. Inside. I try. Mine is E90 320i Lci. Looks similar. Do you think same? Sorry to ask you a lot.

@@ljschuby99 ah. You mentioned center console?

Yes, it is behind the center console or radio area. And it will be the same for the 320. You will be smelling better soon!

@@ljschuby99 thank you. One more question. I saw your video taking out glove box. So there is no filter in the glove box? 3series have filter only in the hood. right?

Good to know, thanks. This is good stuff. The one application is all that it has needed so far.

Foam evaporates and excess goes through drain pipe pretty quickly so everything should be fine. Might need to do smaller amounts at one time and make sure to keep it in the main compartment for next time.

@@ljschuby99 ok thanks bro

It is possible that you have some mold/mildew between the condenser and the vents. If this was the case, you could try this product, or lysol/something similar to spray directly down the vents.

ljschuby99 thanks for your reply. I’ll get more product and try in the vent. The smell comes stronger with just the fan on. When the aircon is on, the odour goes away after a minute. But when on fan it constantly smells. Any thoughts?

ljschuby99 I narrowed down the smell to only coming from the drivers side centre vent. Tried everything. Don’t know how to address this

@@321ali hey did you find a fix? Wondering because this happens toe whenever i have the air on low i get this really bad strong smell coming from vents, thanks in advance

Juan DontWorryAboutIt I never found the fix. Tried everything - didn’t eradicate the problem

Check out video BMW E60 evaporator A/C replace. Obviously you will not need to remove the dash and replace, but it will show where the evaporator is behind the dash and give you a good idea of the area where you need to get the cleaner in the E60. It looks pretty similar.

@@ljschuby99 Hello, I've just watch the video and in my opinion I think that removing filter box and applying the product directly with application tube could be enough in e60 case, isn't it?. What do you think?. Cleaner supplier specifies that I cannot use the product through air vents so I am afraid there isn't any other solution. I would prefer not to remove the tension strut due to it is recommended to replace screw and give them specific torque. That is so serious for me. I only want to improve ac smell haha. Here you have the specific evaporator cleaning process where you can find the complete work to clean the evaporator. There you can see that they remove a lot of parts during the proccess.: www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/e60-525d-lim/repair-manuals/64-heating-air-conditioning/64-51-heating-air-conditioning-unit-evaporator-shift-elements/2QpSUxU

@@mdq00001 Yes, that would be a lot of work that may not be necessary. May be best to try going through the filter box first to see if that helps your problem. When you do that, watch out for the cleaner so that it does not drip into the passenger floor panel.

@@mdq00001 so any luck? I’m wanting to do mine as well!!! I tried replacing the FSU (blower motor resistor) on my 03 E60 and I COULD NOT GET THAT MF’r OUT!!!! It’s causing my heat to blow only in the floor and windshield It’s over $1000 to replace the blower motor and all the other bs.

@@capt.saveahoe914 I removed the filters and saw the evaporator through the holes. Then I applied the product and everything was correct
