How do I get rid of that terrible smell coming from the air conditioner? Anyone else running into this problem??

 

Have you tried replacing the microairfilter behind the glove box?

 

How many miles are on that car?? You may need to replace the micro filter. Nissan recomends changing it every 12mo/15,000. I have had mine in there for a year and it is fine, but I live in Boston where it is only hot and muggy 4mo out of the year.

 

I will change the microfilter. I just hit the 1yr/15000 miles on my car. I was hoping it would last a little longer..oh well..Thanks

 

Too bad my local dealer wants 65$ for the microfilter...

 

I have a 2K SE, was this an option on the car (I bought it used) or was it standard on all the 5th Gens?

 

It was an option...

 

How can I tell if I have one??

 

Thats a good question...the only thing I can think of off the top of my head is the original window sticker on the car. Did the original owner give you any of the paper work that came with the car..?

 

No, I bought it from a dealer (got a really good deal on it as well) and they never give anything. Not even a friggin Owner's Manual (I had to ask my neighbor who is in charge of sales if she had one I could have) Is there someone or somewhere I could write to to get all the info using my VIN?

 

I am looking at the documentation that came with my car. Looks like it was only available for 2001 Nissans and later...Noticed you are from GA..I am currently living in Atlanta

 

In-Cabin Microfilter F.A.Q.s

How do I know if one is already installed on my vehicle?
A Caution Label should be located on the glove box door if an In-Cabin Miocrofilter was previously installed on your vehicle. (See diagram on the right.)
The Labels states:
This vehicle is equipped with a Ventilation Air Filter which collects dirt, pollen, dust, etc.
To ensure A/C, heating, defrosting, and ventilation performance, please replace filter regularly.

How often should it be replaced?
A Replacement Label located on the glove box door should indicate the date and mileage of the previous installation.
The filter should be replaced once a year or every 15,000 miles whichever comes first.

What if my vehicle does not have an In-Cabin Microfilter already installed in it?
A new installation can be done at anytime on your vehicle (that is designed for one), please view the Installation Instructions to see how it's done.
