Bad smell from A/c

Gaprofitt · 07-20-2008, 10:17 PM

Hi All,

When I first turn on my 2007 Prius there is a bad smell from the a/c, it goes away after about 5 secs. I checked the cabin filter and it looks and smells fine, anyone else experience this?

Thanks,

Greg

It has been covered extensively on this site. Try a search on AC smell. Here is one of the many threads on the subject.

I got excited when I saw your header. I thought that maybe Toy finally put out a TSB for this problem. Your in the wrong forum. Post this in the "Care-Maintenance" forum. If you want to see alot about your problem search my old posts.

I had this problem and it is caused by moisture (condensation) in the AC system. Set your AC to 72 degrees or higher and the problem should go away. It has for me.
