I get a musty smell when I put my HVAC control to the "Vent" position. I don't get it when in "AC" or "Max AC".
I was getting a musty smell in the "AC" modes and had the "AC deoderized" (service manager's description). That eliminated the smell. Then weeks later it showed up in the "Vent" position.
I've tried spraying Ozium in front of the windshield with the fan blowing with vent on.
I've tried spraying Ozium through the return in the passenger footwell.
My question is: Does anybody know what part of the ducting is different to the two separate functions. To put it another way, what needs to be cleaned to get rid of the smell? Does there have to be two different deoderizing operations to do both systems?
I want to be able to suggest something to the dealer as this will be the 3rd time it will be in for the musty smell.
Thanks.
