It’s no secret that over time a car’s climate system becomes clogged with dirt, and a hotbed of microbes and bacteria appears on the evaporator. And in order to breathe clean air and not suffer from a cold, she needs prevention. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells how to work without additional costs.
To begin with, we note that the main obstacle to the entry of pollen and dirt into the “living room” is the cabin filter. It not only protects the lungs of the driver and passengers, but also prevents the formation of impurities on various parts of the “kondeya”. So don’t disassemble when you go to the country. We also strongly recommend replacing the consumables regularly. Yes, now everything has increased in price, but still it is foolish to save on health.
Then we clean the drainage holes in the body so that moisture does not enter the main channel in rainy weather. After we have made this same air duct dust-free. By the way, if the design of the machine is such that the filter is located under the hood, then access to all the listed nodes is excellent. You can even get to the fan blades. By the way, over time, they also become overgrown with a dust coat.
Then you should pay attention to the evaporator of the air conditioner. After all, it is on its surface that a favorable environment is formed for the development of bacteria and fungi. You can understand this by an unpleasant smell. And sewage flying off the street causes corrosion. This allows compressor oil or refrigerant to enter the cabin. They are very harmful to health.
The evaporator can be accessed from the passenger compartment by removing the lower part of the front panel. Then, using a cloth and a soap solution, gently clean the surface and give it time to dry. A more expensive way: buy a disinfectant cleaner in the store. It is also applied to the evaporator.
Finally, with the help of an antibacterial cleaner, we destroy unwanted microflora and slimy deposits in the system. To do this, we insert the extension hose supplied in the kit into the condensate drain pipe and let all the foam escape from the cylinder inside. We turn on the “condo” to the maximum and get out of the car for 10 minutes. This time is enough for the composition to absorb the wastewater and chimney through the drain into the basin. In such cheap and simple ways, you can repeatedly extend the life of expensive mechanisms.
