Re: Smelly AC/Bad Reception



I used about a whole can of Frigi-Fresh before mine finally smelled good.  Also make sure you unclog the evaporator drain hose....using compressed air works good...I also cut the tip of it to ensure better waterflow.  If that still doesn't work, I can remember the name of the stuff but Central VW/Audi in Richardson Tx had some stuff that does work REALLY good I guess.  Going from memory but I think their phone is 972-341-3691....I could be wrong though.  Normally they want themselves to do it because it is ultra strong (have to leave the windows open while you do it strong) but I talked em into just buying the stuff once if I couldn't resolve my problem with Frigi- Fresh.   Make sure you spray Frigi Fresh into the air intake, but I also sprayed it into the vents as well.
Later!

Subject: Smelly AC/Bad Reception

My '89 100Q has been an excellent car for me except for 2 nagging problems:
 
1.  The AC/vent blows moldy smelling foul air, particularly when switching from AC to vent or vice versa.  I don't want to have to remove the blower motor to check for rotting stuff but there seems to be no other way.  "Frigi-fresh" only covers it up for a couple days.  Has anyone had and resolved this problem?
 
2.  My FM reception diminishes about 70% when I turn the key to the on position (whether or not the engine is started.)  I've pulled every fuse and every module under the dash one at a time.  I installed a "real" antenna and it is grounded properly.  I've talked to dozens of mechanics/car stereo guys/engineers and other assorted bright people.  No one's ever heard of such a thing. 
 
Thanks for your help.  Please respond to pdisarro@ct2.nai.net
