thanks but i think i'll have to check an ac shop to check that i always damage something when i try to fix sum on this nature for some reason

Well actually no one suggested you change it yourself. The point was you may have a dirty filter that may be the source of the smell you refereed to.

A reputable A/C tech could check that for you quite easily.

most filters are located behind the glove box.. if so, just remove the glove box and you should see the filter housing with some clips to remove to gain access to the filter..

if you can't find it, then go by a technician..

i usually wash out my filter (with breeze!) and it works just as good as new..

take soap (breeze) mis up some water in it and wet a cloth with the solution and place it infron the vent that resides underthe front driver seat this will eleviate the smell issue untill u find out the cause

some car wash places do this and make the car smell clean for days
