yvonotis Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Hi everybody. There is a bad odor coming from the A/C. Two different dealerships were not able to find any causes. Does anybody else has the same kind of problem? I think it could be a leak of the R1234 yf coolant but they say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyota Owners Club Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 You could try an 'Air Con Bomb' which is like a smoke grenade Keep windows up and turn vents to recirculation and fan on high Fire up the Air Con Bomb (or similar) and allows it to circulate the smoke which kills off bacteria in the ventilation system Although I am surprised that it would have bacteria causing smell inside the vehicle at that age but worth giving it a try for $10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvonotis Posted August 7, 2023 Author Share Posted August 7, 2023 At the 2 dealerships they smelled the bad odor but now no more investigation free of charge I must pay out of pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvonotis Posted August 30, 2023 Author Share Posted August 30, 2023 Update:according to my dealership the odor is caused by the windows’ seals. The have clean the interior of the doors and will replace the seals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyota Owners Club Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Funny you should say that, as a friend has a Hyundai and his interior also has a strange odour but seems its the seat foam that is emitting the smell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
