strange odor from A/C
Im bringing me outlander in for that recall notice some time next week, but I thought I'd post here if anybody had a solution before I went.
I was just wondering, does anybody get a real strange and terrible odor when ever they turn on the A/C? A friend of mine told me its probably the freon, but this is a horrible stench. I know winter is comming and I wont be using it as much, but when I quick defog with the A/C I know that stench will be waiting. Any thoughts? Should I just change filter? Is there away to flush out and redo the freon?

Its not freon.
Its mold and mildew on the filter.
Just spend the $10 -$20 and change it , its easy and your problem of stinky car will be GONE!

Is this the intake filter or the cabin filter or what? I just got this outtie in July and I too am getting this funky smell when I turn on the A/C. Thanks.

Thanks y'all.
ps/ besides the hp gain, whats the benefits of switching to an open intake system? I'm more concerned about fuel economy than anything else. Plus anything that might void warrenty is a no go for me.
