How to Deal with Lingdu Air Conditioner Odor?
2 Answers
Lingdu regularly cleans and replaces the air conditioning filter. Other methods are as follows: 1. Buy two lemons and place them in the car. If you want a faster effect, cut the lemons into slices and place them at the air vents, then turn on the air conditioning. Soon, the air inside the car will become clean and fragrant. 2. Place honeycomb coal for a particularly good effect. It is best to use honeycomb coal with a complete shape, following the principle of adsorption. 3. The odor in a new car is often a sign of air pollution inside the car, possibly releasing harmful substances like formaldehyde and benzene. When the car is not in use, place a small bucket of water with some vinegar inside the car and repeat this several times. The odor will gradually disappear. The reason is: water can adsorb formaldehyde, and vinegar can help stabilize formaldehyde. 4. Cut a whole onion into four pieces and place them in the car.
When driving for long periods, I often encounter unpleasant odors from the air conditioning, especially during summer in my Lamando—that musty smell is really annoying. To address this, first check the cabin air filter, which is responsible for filtering the air. If it's clogged, it can start to smell. Generally, it should be replaced every six months or 10,000 kilometers. If the musty smell is caused by condensation, turning off the AC but keeping the fan running for a few minutes before parking can help dry out the ducts and prevent mold growth. You can also buy an automotive AC cleaner (available online for around 20-30 yuan) and spray it into the air intake or evaporator to disinfect the system. Remember to ventilate the car regularly by opening windows and avoid overusing recirculation mode to reduce moisture buildup. If the odor persists, take the car to a repair shop for a thorough cleaning of the evaporator and ducts, which usually costs around 100-200 yuan. For long-term maintenance, avoid eating in the car to prevent food debris from fostering bacteria, or parking under trees where leaves can block the fresh air intake. In short, addressing odors early makes driving more comfortable and safer.
