I am having the same issue. I changed the cabin air filter (Located under the passenger side dash - remove 4 small screws) and still cannot get rid of the musty / urine smell. I have tried all the "over the counter" ac unit sprays and I also took the car into a place that used some kind of a fogger inside the car.Unfortunatly, the smell returns. Let me know if you have any luck.I have tried all the recomendations such as, Lysol, bleach, fogger and still nothing. I believe the AC unit needs to be exposed and cleaned before the problem is resolved.Good luck!

Strange smell coming from my crhysler crossfire air con. intermittently musty smell from start up and while driving - seems to be at lower speeds. please help if possible

Firstly change your cabin filter(s) if smell still present then there is a cannistor you can buy from AC speciallists. You open the canistor, leave in footwell, close the car (windows, sunroof etc) and leave for a few hours. The can lets off a special gas that kills bacteria caused by AC. Problem solved.

I have a 2000 Dodge Intrepid that smells funny when I turn on the AC. I have looked it up and the forums say to change the Cabin Air Filter. I can't find where the filter is?!

You do not have a cabin filter....Two things......you need to check (freon preasure) you may have a freon leak from the AC evap coil behind the instrrment panel,the smell is AC freon pag oil from the AC system, it smells funny. Or you may have mildew build up on your evap coil there is a spray to disinfect the coil.Check auto zone or pep boys....Good luck my friend

I have a 1997 Subaru Legacy Outback, and my AC is weak.

my suggestion would be to go to another shop,most likely the freon is low,pressure should be measured on the high side and low side, a fully charged system should read 125 to 135 high 25-30 low and these pressure will either rise or fall with ambient temp and humidity but not drastically,you also may have an engine oil leak causing that smell,it may also be possible that the a/c belt is slipping,if the freon 134a is leaking the repair shop may install a leak dye in the system to aid in tracking small leaks this is a good investment good luck

Air conditioner

There is no filter, this smell is caused by mold/mildew in the system from normal condensation from the AC evaporator core, you can try Lysol, spray at the air intake in front of the windshield for about 20 seconds, turn of the system and let it set overnight, this will cure the problem for a few months, then you will have to treat it again, as the mold will regrow in the moist environment of the AC air distribution box.

Air Conditioning on BMW 3 Series 2003

change the cabin filter will get rid of the smell however for cold ac you will need to recharge the ac and have a black light test in 5 days or less after it was recharged. then they would spot for a leak in the ac system

Horrible smell coming out of the ac system

disconnection your fan has 3-4 screws and check for a dead mouse or two and bits of dried grass. They like to build nest in there. If your car sits for extended amounts of time that seems to be when the animals call it home. It was not a pleasant job for me to get them out you just have to get rubber gloves and do it.

AC-Smells

Have you replaced the a/c air filter under the dashboard? If not get one from the dealer or even a napa (napa part # is wix 24902) The filter is under the glove box. 4 eight millimeter screws hold the cover in place. You will be quite surprised at the quantity of mung these filters collect. I replace mine every two years regardless.
