A/C Funk
A long time ago someone posted a message about a "funk" smell coming out of their a/c when they first turned it on. Someone else (I believe Brian) suggested a product to remove the smell. Anyone remember what that product was?
I did some searching but was unable to find the post, I believe it was from one of this forum's previous lives...
Thanks

that 'funk' as you call it is caused by the condensation left by the AC after you turn it off... which then turns into a form of mildew
you can take it to the dealer, and they can clean out the air ducts for you. Or if you prefer to do it yourself, you can purchase a disinfectant spray, that should take care of it for you.
in the future, if you would like to prevent this 'funk' smell from reoccurring, what you can do is, about 1-2 minutes before you reach your destination, turn off the AC and turn up the air a little higher. this will help dry out the air ducts, which will dramatically reduce the 'funk' smell

That product was probably this:

Worked like a charm on both my 55 and my 330.
