RE: Stinky air vents: Pollen Filter?

[Brian Wanamaker <bwanamaker@sofsol.com>]

My '98 vents smell pretty bad, too. I was considering getting the no-smell
treatment like you mentioned, but was hesitant because some of that stuff
smells worse than the odor you're trying to cover up. It's interesting that
you said it didn't work anyway. Did the stuff smell perfumey?

Subject: Stinky air vents: Pollen Filter?


Listers:

Ever since I bought my '97 GLX I've had a bad smell
from my vents when I first turn on the a/c.  The
dealer supposedly sprayed something into the
compressor that would eliminate the smell last summer,
but it didn't work at all.

The other day I was thumbing through my owner's manual
and I noticed a section on the pollen filter.  The
instructions on how to change it made no sense, so I
was wondering if our cars have pollen filters?  I
think if they do, maybe changing the filter would help
with the musty smell I'm getting through my vents.

Any input? Ideas?

TIA,

ROB
'97 GLX
