I gotta see if there's any of those Japanese stores near by cause I want to actually know the smell before I buy you know hah.

But thanks
You're in the HB area? Why not hit up that ricer store in Stanton. The WalMart of autoparts. It's like a **** warehouse for car enthusiasts.

Super AutoBacs. Wonder if they're still in business?

My wife's car just started doing this. It's like bad foot odor from the A/C. The in-cabin filter was changed out about 3 months ago. Nothing on the engine side of the filter, it's clean there.

HOLY ****ING ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That actually scared me when I first saw it.. DAMN YOU!.

Was eating breakfast then I see all that **** omg.. did like a bird die in there or something?

I definitely DO NOT need to change mine then. Mine's still mostly white..


But anyways.. after I took out the Air Spencer air freshener.. the smell started clearing up.. Left the AC on for I don't know.. like 45 minutes and had it going in the car, switching off from it getting air from the outside and circulating the air from the inside. Hopefully by today or tomorrow the smell will be completely gone. I wanted to test the air freshener in my dad's car, but he got pissed and yelled at me when I suggested it lol.

Haha yeah it was pretty gross.

If your cabin filter is clean but it still stinks like you described, it might mean that a mouse might have died and is still somewhere rotting in your car and the A/C just didn't suck it up.
If what I just said it true and you can't find a body... It goes away after awhile.... Lol.

I live in SoCal Hb though and it never gets really cold or like anything like that.. the weather is usually mild all year. And plus I took apart like everythingg to where you could look up the glovebox and see the sky. Stuck my hand through and felt around the whole area. (If you would of posted this early I DEFINITELY would NOT have done that) but anyways yeah I did that and there's NOTHING there lol.

The air has to go through the filter before it gets into the piping that goes out the vents into the cabin right?

If so then there can't be anything.. really hoping that it was just the air freshener.. sdl;fkjsalfdjskl;dsjl;kfj;klsdj;fads
