Air Con Cleaner And Cold Air Intake

Featured Replies

Right i am having a senior moment. I have bought an A/C cleaner to give my aircon a quick clean and intend to put in a new pollen filter as a matter of course. The cleaner states to spray some in the vents and the pollen filter area then it says to spray the rest in the cold air intake.

Now forgive me for being thick here but i presume we are talking of the area that houses the air filter? I was just going to open it up and replace the air filter and spray a shed load of cleaner through as it was drawing in air or shall i just spray it in the ducting whilst the car is running?

im assuming the intake will be the vents where the air for the heater is drawn through not the air intake mate

these air cleaner bombs that you get, normally you put them in the footwell, with the engine on, aircon on max power for cold, set the bomb off pointing up to the top of the footwell (having recirculation enabled on the car) and just leave it.

I havent heard of one you spray in each of the vents, then the cold air intake though

Yeah i have used the bomb type ones before and exactly as you said via re circ mode. This one is a spray in the vents and then intake jobby but not a massive issue as i can if needed buy a diffferent one if i can't get it sorted
