Cats,
3100 miles into the 2012 Qx, I have that musty mildew smell coming from the evaporator. it only smells a few times when the ACCS kicks in. I use auto recirc so when it "sniffs" odors it automatically goes into recirc mode.
it does not smell all the time, just certain times. i know this is due to the evaporator and how it breeds bacteria.
there is this product, http://www.detailersdomain.com/1Z-ei...aner_p_78.html , that is raved across the interwebs.
im going to use it, but im curious about the IONIZER aka plasmacluster system thats installed. I wonder if spraying this foam into the vent thats directly going into the evaporator will affect the plasmacluster system?
i dont think it will.. i think the evaporator is in there by itself and that environment is designed to have moisture--this is where the drain hose is and where the water drips out to the street--but just wanted to see if i can spark up some dialog here with other new gen qx-ers out there.
have not contacted the dealer yet as they will do a similar thing (spraying some stuff into the vent) and charge much extra for this service.
so have any of you had this smell crop up?
ive said a lot of stuff here but my main question is will spraying this evaporator cleaner into the evaporator box affect the ionizier/plasmascluster system? me thinks not but wanted to see what others would have to say...
thank you...
