Stu_2424 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hi Guys There seems to be a musty damp sort of smell when I just have the normal blowers on. Put on the air con and the smell vanishes but come back once the air con is switched off. Initial thought was maybe a filter is going a bit mouldy somewhere? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pnthrblkzs Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 A friend had a similar problem in an old car and apparently ran the heaters on full heat and fan for a journey and this sorted it. Perhaps change pollen filter etc also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I so had this when I first got the car. Put the blowers on and the smell went, turn them off and it stunk. Turned out to be a dead body in the boot. Removed and the smell went. Was rather pleased it wasn't the heater system and a simple fix. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fellsteruk Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) I know the smell goes away with the AC on but may be worth trying one of these to fully clean out the vent and what not however cabin/pollen filter change could be a good start. I was actually going to post today asking where the polling filter is located "been in the passenger foot well of all my other nissans" but couldn't find it there on the zed... http://reviews.halfo...335/reviews.htm Any ideas? bet its on driver side?
