Air Cond

[Jerman]

Even though the "re-circulated air control button" is activated, I can still smell exterior air coming into the cabin. I wonder if others have experienced similiar "irritation" and what could be done ? Is this a big job to rectify ie. close the vents permanently?Thanks

cabin microfilter need to replaced with carbon type...tht will filter out the smell. in fact normal type of microfilter can filter the smell whn new but if it has been not replaced for 2 year, you should consider to hv it replaced.

Hmmm...not that clear to me actually

Thanks Mouse for the Naidu's contact. Will sort it out with him.

Chubby, the microfilter for E39 cost around RM 90-125 per piece. Not sure if E46 uses the same ones!

 

[blackrobe]

Anyone have any idea the cost for the microfilter for the E36? Ta
