In The Stink! Cabin Air Filter

stangstrip · June 9th, 2008, 11:23 PM

Ok,
between my drunk roommate and late-night racing coming home from downtown bars, there is barf in the car.

He managed to get it into the vents. (Sick i know)

anyway ive taken the vents out and hand cleaned them. i just need advice to cleaning the cabin filter. how?

i havent bothered with it since the stink was going away, but now that its 96degrees out, it brought back that good-ole smell.

I'm sorry man, but...

Just buy new ones? Don't even know if you have those.

Sorry....

How the hell did he barf in the vents? lmfao

it was in my manual. ok well that explains lots. any one have a good way to remove the smell. i no longer want to mask the smell

If it were me I would take that sucker to a professional detailer, and ask them what they think.

i noticed him about to puke, so i braked it and his head was resting on the dash... the vomit seeped into the vent.

go to a local dealer and request an AC1 aka an AC bomb. Its a bomb they let off in the car with the air on that will kill the bacteria in the vents. if that doesn't work you have to pull it apart and clean it.

I honestly don't know man. However if it's in the manual, chances are it's there. Does it say optional, though, is the thing.

there is not a cabin air filter. If its in a hanyes manual or what ever, thats because they assum,e all cars have one.

lol reminds me of a couple months ago. i was at a party with my best friend, he has a really nice lifted jeep grand cherokee.. well i was DONE and we decided to head home. we made it 50 feet before i mumbled something and tried opening the door. my projectile-like vomit didn't go outside onto the ground, it went all over his door on the inside, including the door pocket and the door speaker holes. i had to clean it hungover the next day it was disgusting
