A/C set to coolest setting, when first kicks on there is a funny odor momentarily, such as dusty/mildew smell. Hot days takes a while to cool. Will eventually cool after approx 15 minutes on highway, at max cold Auto setting, with fan bowing max.
Does anyone know of potential problem, such as filter(s) clogging etc?
Could it be combination of low coolant, and filters? Tech suggested pulling all coolant, filling with dye for black light test, then re-filling. This has not been done.
Purchased coolant with guage from Advance Auto, gauage said full, therefor I did not add.
Are there other considerations, such as more than one colant holding area?
Would like to have blasting cold air with max filtration from the get - go, even with this warm weather we are experiencing.
Thanks,
TK
