Service the air conditioning circuit of your Lancia Ypsilon in an easy way
Once you have a disinfectant spray, you can instantly clean your car’s air-conditioning circuit.
The process is very easy, even so, this treatment can dirty the inside of your Lancia Ypsilon.
- Remove the cabin filter.
- Put in the disinfectant spray on the floor of your car (if possible on the passenger side).
- Start your car’s ventilation and air conditioning (with the engine is on) with air recycling
- With the windows shut down, press the button on the bomb to empty it little by little and close the vehicle doors and leave it on for about ten minutes.
