    AC Evaporator Coil Cleaning (Mouldy vent smell)

    What do you smell when your car is on? Is it a musty scent from the air vents? Have you tried the heat method mentioned above? That does more than the lysol The intake is on the top left side when you open the hood. You'll feel the air suction when you have it on max air going into the hole...

    PPF when leasing

    Some good opinions above, I think you'll be fine with just ceramic. I'm not sure why you have Paint swirls if you hand wash properly you should not have any... You probably don't need to redo the ceramic coat if you maintain properly and the ceramic is of high quality. It really depends if you...

    PPF when leasing

    How did the tariffs affect the cost of the car? Did the price go up? I would consider PPF on the front as you mentioned dirt roads and long drives, but financially it doesn't make sense as stone chip dings are absorbed when returning the lease. It's just a question of, do you want to protect...

    AC Evaporator Coil Cleaning (Mouldy vent smell)

    I’ve heard that attempting to clean AC coils on a Taycan can risk damaging sensitive components like the PCM. It's not recommended so proceed with caution, as it may not be worth the risk. Update: I have finally resolved my issue and my car is now smelling great. I think mostly what fixed it...

    AC Evaporator Coil Cleaning (Mouldy vent smell)

    I actually just picked up my car from dealership and it was raining all week. I noticed the smell got really bad in the vents and I realized that we have the same problem as Tesla, where the water leaks into the air intake under the hood, drips into the air vents / evaporator and can cause it to...

    AC Evaporator Coil Cleaning (Mouldy vent smell)

    Wow, you got CPO and they won't resolve this issue for you? Honestly they should just replace your evaporator for you with CPO shouldn't they? Wait so you already tried cleaning your evaporator? How did you access it? This is what I've been trying to figure out all this time lol So you already...

    AC Evaporator Coil Cleaning (Mouldy vent smell)

    Hmm if this happened after rain, I wonder if you have clogged drains from the roof. Your Taycan has 6 drain plugs that are located under your car. Apparently this can be badly clogged from what seems to be a flaw in the membrane that is inside the drain plug. Is your back seat area wet / damp...

    AC Evaporator Coil Cleaning (Mouldy vent smell)

    Hey sorry I missed this, it's not really about the temperature it's about the moisture that gets left into the AC unit. Quick explanation here at 1:15 Also an update nobody seems to care so it's more like a self journal lol I found an Audi technician that works at Audi that is going to help...

    New Full Carbon Fiber Body Kit Install in Taycan Turbo 2025

    My GPS memory lift works fine as well, but agree that it is really hard not to scrape the front in any incline. My driveway entry is about 20 degree angle and I have to drive it extremely slow and specific turn to not scrape my low license plate

    AC Evaporator Coil Cleaning (Mouldy vent smell)

    Oh that's interesting, I always thought all cars should do this automatically to dry out the coil after every AC drive. Still, I don't trust it and manually dry out my car for 10 minutes myself Unfortunately I didn't cause the issue, just trying to fix what I inherited. My Porsche service is...

    AC Evaporator Coil Cleaning (Mouldy vent smell)

    If I use the AC, I always turn the AC off about 5-10 minutes before I turn off the car (some people say 2 mins, but I do up to 10 as I can usually feel the moisture exiting until then). I also increase the fan speed and sometimes temperature to speed up the drying process. This makes sure you...

    AC Evaporator Coil Cleaning (Mouldy vent smell)

    Hey guys, has anyone tried to use something like Frigi Clean or Klima-Cleaner to clean their evaporator coils? I bought my Taycan used, and I can tell that the previous owner has never turned off their AC after drives (which is something I do rigorously on my cars). The air from the vents smell...
