Take out the air filter. Cabin air filter replacement- Volvo S60 - YouTube Put the air filter cover back on. Start car, turn on air conditioner, fan low, open all vents. Spray Lysol into cabin air intake in short spurts (not sure where it is on your car, but on most cars it's usually at the base of the windshield near the windshield wipers.) Make sure you select all positions on the air conditioning (defrost vents at base of windshield, foot vents under dashboard, vents that you adjust with your fingers, etc.) Make sure you are not in recirculate mode. Spray some more Lysol until you are certain it has come out of all vents. You can alternately close some vents to force it through others. Let car run for several minutes to dry off what you sprayed.

Start with lysol and go from there.The requested URL /showthread.php?t=89414 was not found on this server.Updated The cause of the smell is fungus, mold, and/or bacteria living in your vehicle's climate control system (typically they congregate in the evaporator core and/or near the condenser in your A/C unit).

These critters move into these areas because it's a moist enclosed space, and while some cars have a bigger problem with this than others (some models are notorious for this problem), it's very common.There are a few things you can do to eliminate the problem.Starting now, turn off the A/C at least 2 minutes before you shut off your vehicle - preferably 5 minutes - but leave the fan on. Just get in the habit of shutting your A/C off at a certain point on your commute. This way, your system will dry quite a bit before you shut off.Buy a bottle of lysol antiseptic spray. Start your car, turn on the A/C system full blast, and make sure it's set to pull air from the outside (the recirculate button should be off). Finally, roll down all the windows. Then, start spraying the lysol into the exterior air vents between your hood and your windshield. I'd spray for 20-30 seconds, wait a minute, then repeat until about 10 minutes have gone by. Then I would let the air conditioner run with the windows down for at least another 10 minutes before shutting down.

If step #2 doesn't work (and it won't always work), your dealership can try a foaming system cleaner sold by BG products. While some people say that this stuff is no better than lysol, I have seen it work when lysol didn't.Worst case, you can ask your dealer to remove the smell by replacing the evaporator core, condenser, drain pan, etc. However, this is rarely necessary as steps 2 and 3 usually take care of the problem.Having said all of this, step #1 is key - if you don't start shutting the A/C off (but leaving the fan on) a couple of minutes before you park your car, the mold, fungus, and/or bacteria will just come back stronger than ever.Written it depends a bit what you mean with bad, bad can be leaking liquids of which you don't like the smell, or it could mean a certain smell like in a humid bathroom which was not cleaned for some time which comes from funghi and other smells which arise where water and humidity is becoming foul ( rotting dirt ) then of course there is the possibility of rubber and plastic smells since one part of the cooling system gets rather

hot in the process. my guess is that you mean that smell of foul water.Written The most common source of bad smell and odour in your vehicle is the air conditioning system. This is because it is a small enclosed space that is constantly wet and moist. This gives rise to formation of mould, bacteria and fungus especially around the condenser and evaporator of the air conditioning unit. Apart from this, bad smell can also come from heated up rubber and plastic in the unit though this will be only when the AC is on for quite some time. Written If it is mold you want to be very careful trying to remove it yourself. Mold can be very dangerous when inhaled so you want to take the right precautions. In most cases you want to hire professional to ensure all the mold is removed.
