Attention all Mit/Lancers - Remove Heater System
-
Hi folks, me in C&C servicing centre now....just checked with the mechanic about the 'socks' sour sour smell problem from the aircon vents (note the car is just 2 - 3 months old nia)......and was told that they have several complaints from other new lancer drivers too and that the smell was caused as a result of the existence of the heater system.....
i have to place my car there for a day so they can remove the heater system completely.......
CNN!!! -
So, do you still have the 'sock' smell after removing it?
-
Ya, I noticed the smell too.
So, to remove the heater, would it cost anything,
this is technically a manufacturer's fault, not only should the overall servicing be free, the removal should also be complimentary.
I wait for ya FR on C&C.

ya it is free.....their advice is to send to MIt/Ubi so they can send to the aircon shop next to it to do it immediately....Originally posted by Black_Ace:Ya, I noticed the smell too.

the japanese lancer by default does not have aircon system...only heater....that aircon shop is consigned to do the aircon installation....
the newest lancer no longer comes with a heater system... -
my car also has that smell..
its when after i start the engine den i on the air con den the air con v smelly.
but my car is not lancer leh.

is it a new car? if it is, possible cause is heater.....whenever u turn the knob to grey area (blue-grey-red) meaning mix of aircon and heater, the problem when happened whenever u start your car's aircon....which only last for seconds nia....Originally posted by extraordinary:my car also has that smell..

IT IS NOT THE SAME as the smell u get when your car is about 1 year old when the aircon condensor starts getting dirty -
