Cabin filter

[ZillaZ]

I have the mildewy smell in my 24. I popped out the filter and sniffed it. No stank on it. Looks brand new. (Car only has 9k on it.)

Anyone figured out where water could be sitting? Y'all know I'm anal retentive. So, when I have washed my engine bay, water MAY have splashed in to the plastic cowl vents.

Might need to find a boroscope to look for a puddle.....

When my Frontier and Z start to smell mildewy what I do is I change the air flow from recirculate to air from the outside and run it that way for a few days. It seems to clear out the smell in the vents.

I started having a smell few weeks ago, I had changed my filter in April or so.
It's only smells for like 2 seconds after the car is started when AC is on.

I'll give that a go.

I sprayed a whole bottle of that "AC freshener". Smelled better for a few days. Back to swamp.

Think I'm going to borrow a boroscope from work, and go in through either the upper vent or the cabin filter slot.

Could it be a drain for the ac condenser that is blocked?

I'll report back when I can get it installed after it arrives; Ideally it does its job and doesn't slow the airflow down to a trickle.

That's the one I used

Any update? About to order it.
