RE: strange odor from A/C
ok, after waiting 3 months from time of filter change I learned:
A) its not the filters
B) theres something wrong with the heating/cooling door.
what I mean is, my mechanic told me that the door that switches hot air flow and cold air flow is not shutting all the way. cold air (esp with air condition on) has some mostiure. the hot air that escapes heats up the mostiure and make the bad smell. he said hes seen it happen in a few gallantes and eclipses.
now although he's a petty good general mitsu mechanic, he couldnt do anything for me on this one (as i think it goes a little too deep into the works).
anyways should symptoms persists, see your dealer.
