Okay, as weird as it sounds and NO it's not me. Every time I turn on AC, I get this massive smell of sweaty socks. Heat is fine, air is fine, once AC button is activated... sweaty socks fill up my car even with all the air fresheners I have it overpowers them. Since it uses the same air filter regardless of the setting I don't see that being an issue... any ideas anyone?

 

U need a new filter bro.

 

Get a new cabin air filter but make sure u clean out where the filter goes because i just replaced mine and it did absolutely nothing

 

Ya id check the filter before anything else

 

Wouldn't it still have that smell when air is on though? Heat and air is fine, only A/C stinks but I guess I'll replace the filter why not

 

Like i said i replaced mine and it did nothing

 

If its not your filter, then your Evaporator is leaking, and your smelling the refrigerant, Had it happen on a ram at work, everything smelt fine, turned ac on and blammo I could smell A/C and the oil. stupid small leak. system help pressure, but leaked oil mainly. Get a A/C service place to use a sniffer and place it in the vents, if it goes nuts, there's your problem.

 

Still under warranty, wonder if dealership will try to bs me or check it out.... got to take it in for the stupid silver peeling on the door handle anyway..

 

They should cover it. Ive seen ac drains get clogged before too. Check to see if its drainibg under ur car or not
