    Hi guys. Na-experience nyo na ba na parang may off odor (i.e., parang amoy ipis) pag binuksan ang aircon? My car is just 2 months old. Sa unang buga ng aircon lang naman aya amoy and then nawawala na after a few munutes.

    Have you ever experienced this? Ano kayang okay na gawin?

    TIA!

    I don't want to put car freshener naman since I want to maintain that new car scent. Bad trip lang talaga yung amoy ipis at first.

    you can grin and bear it and wait for it to disappear in a few weeks... puede rin kasing galing yan sa pandikit na ginamit nila...
    or, you can bring it to the fixit shop and they can look for the source.

    Before ko turn off un engine and AC, set ko muna sa fan un AC para walang moisture build-up.

    That's the brand new smell. Or your cabin filter has charcoal imbedded on it. Kaya yun Ang naaamoy mo

    I brought my car sa casa. They just deodorized the filter. Okay naman sya but after a few weeks balik na naman yung amoy ipis. Hay! Ipa-change ko na kaya yung filter?
