Hello,
It's been couple months now since I got a new to me 2011 GT. Since couple days after getting it the ac started to smell bad, I guess the seller used some sort of smell masking spray to hide that during the sale, but anyways. The smell was really bad. It smelled like a chemical and combined with really bad BO.
So far I have used 5 cans of Lysol, 2 packs of Kool-It Evaporator and Heater Foam Cleaner, steam cleaner, ozone machine and nature's miracle. Each one seemed to help reduce the nasty smell. It is not out yet completely. The ac smell went away, now the only smell is when the ac is off but the normal air is on.
Do you guys have any ideas what to do next? I'm getting a bit tired of spraying Lysol into the system, but it seems to have the most effect on the smell. The kool it cleaner did an ok job, I couldn't get it inside the system correctly due to the duo drain tubes. The cleaner would just drip out the other side and now really get deep inside the system.
