Hi folks,

I'm an IS250 (2007) owner and really need a bit of help from you in regard to a not very pleasant smell that gets into the cabin every time I switch the aircon or heating on. I don't want to just go to a local garage asking for advice as they might see an opportunity to come up with a load of nonsense in an attempt to squeeze a small fortune out of me for a problem which may possible be quite minor. Please advise

First thing to check is the pollen filter as the chances are it has never been replaced.

Check the front carpets in the footwell area for dampness indicating a heater matrix leak.

Then get yourself an AC anti bacterial aerosol. Set the AC to fully cold, open all the vents then set off the aerosol as per the instructions.

I think you can also buy them where you blow it into the fresh air intakes.

Make sure you put the H/V system in 're-circ' mode before trying to access filter in back of glove box or you may force/break the mechanism!
