2013 Mercedes GL550
Is there a Technical Service Bulletin for the AC Smell for 2013 ML350?
I also have a 2013 GL550 and there was a TSB for the GL that I had the dealership perform and really helped with the problem. I would like to do the same but can't find a TSB for the ML. In fact I could not find the GL TSB online either. I was lucky that a MB world member who had a good service adviser find it. Any help would be great as I am not paying the dealership $300 to do the chemical clean anymore. I want the root cause fixed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

A/C Smell
I had the same problem in my 2012 ML. Not my 2103. My 2012 is garaged and my 2013 sits out in the hot sun and bakes dry in the heat. Garaging it allows the moisture to remain in the vents. After 5 different attempts to change the filter, spray some chemical in there, they finally solved the problem.
They installed drain plugs so any accumulated moisture will empty out and not grow mold. The parts were not MB parts. They ordered it and warrantied the install. So far so good it's be over a month now. I am in South Florida so the A/C is always on. My dealer where I got the car, Romano Motors in Syracuse , NY was very familiar with the problem even up north and told me they do the same thing. Hope this helps guys!!!!
