I have a musty/mildew smell when the AC is on. Do I need to spray or clean the ducts in any way in addition to changing the filter?

[filterheads]

@DaveCordts normally just changing the cabin air filter will do away with any bad smells you may be experiencing. If after you change the filter it still has some residual smell to it, cleaning your ducts couldn't hurt!

i have a 2006 vw jetta is the cabin air filter in the same spot? i know how to do my spark plugs and air filter myself. Lil but i never did my cabin filter . thank you from Joe

[filterheads]

@djjoep100 Hey Joe. Your 06 Jetta uses the same AQ1009 filter and installation procedure. Your Jetta may however have a foam panel underneath the glove box that must be removed to get to the housing. It should have two plastic screws that hold the panel on. If your vehicle has that panel them removing it is the only extra step.

I don't know why but ever since I changed the filter, I get a fluttery/whistling sound whenever my air is on 1 or 2. Any suggestions?

@DaveCordts Thankd for the reply. Mine hasn't been changed since the purchase date '06. I'll be sure to lay some bags down.

[DaveCordts]

@nickingrao Neither, I simply changed the filter as directed and the smell was immediately eliminated. 3 months - still fresh. BTW when I opened the vent cover and removed the old filter, all sorts of debris (pine needles, leaves, etc) fell out.

@DaveCordts How did you blow out the ducts? Blow canned air into the vents?

[nickingrao]

How often would you say you need to replace these little guys?

[Gracie2061]

Hi i have a vw passat estate 2010 mine is a right hand drive is the air filter on the passanger side or is it on the drivers side.

[DaveCordts]

@filterheads I changed the filter...took me only 5 minutes. Wiped out the ducts as I could reach with a disinfectant. No odor at all. Don't know why I procrastinated so long! Thanks
