Not all cars and not all evhicles in a given model. For example it's (apparently) very common in the BMW E39 5 series cars but my 530i never suffered from this problem. Can be eliminated by gaining access to the evaporator and spraying bleach in there, but common sense dictates it would return. Try the suggestions on this forum re: turning your A/C off for a minute before turning off the engine.

 

what?!..........dont make fun of $h!t box lol

And FYI, I did take a shower this morning.

 

Yes, seems to be the group consensus. Those odors are typically horrid. This is more disheartening if you live in a humid area like Chicago summers.

 

Looks like your month was up? It was about time!!!

 

I take a shower 2X a day.....I never smell! (I am self conscious about that kinda stuff )

+ and im wearing Aqua Di Gio - Armani today

 

On one last off topic post, Aqua Di Gio is the best FTW with the ladies!!!!

 

I thought it was just my car that had this problem

 

I've done the spraying lysol in the air vents thing and it works pretty good ... I do it about once a week, I cant stand that "dirty sock smell"

o and btw my name is Gio, and I have Aqua Di Gio and yes its great but Black Code by Armani is the shizzzz, it's my girl's new favorite

 

I wear black code too.....when it was called black code when it first came out. Now its just called Armani Code

 

I'll keep that in mind the next time I am at Macy's, I am always looking for better colognes to keep things exciting.

 

Would you get excited if I sniffed you Brian? LOL. But yeah, it's nice when a guy smells good....just a few squirts though....don't drown yourself in it.

 

It all depends if I walk out of Subway smelling like bread or something weird like that!!!

 

Excuse me Mister, what's that scent you're wearing?....Oil and Vinegar by Subway.

 

We got off topic again? Just like discussion board ADD (LOL)!!

It is usually the smell that absorbs in the customers clothing from that massive bread machine!!!

 

This smell issue is also common in the RX 350. Our 07 started to smell real awful and the dealer supposedly cleaned the evaporater. Since then the smell has disappeared. Hopefully this doesn't happen with our new IS350 as we are turning the heat up every so often as an proactive measure.
