Air conditioning is one of the most important options on recent cars. Even though it was before restricted to high-end versions, it has today been democratized for the vast majority of automobiles. Nevertheless, this costly and sophisticated mechanism needs special attention, and whether it’s for service or because of odours, it is completely crucial to think about cleaning the air conditioning of your Scion tC. This is specifically what we will demonstrate in more detail in this content. First we will take a look in detail at the procedure to clean the air conditioning of your Scion tC, then in a second part, we will look more generally at the service of the air conditioning of your Scion tC.
How to clean my Scion tC air conditioning
Let’s start our content with the cleaning of the air conditioning circuit of your Scion tC. The only method to perform a full cleaning of this circuit will be to use bactericidal and fungicidal products, actually, your air conditioning generates a lot of moisture that will stay in the circuit and will activate the expansion of germs and bacteria of all sorts. You will find these items on the internet or in car centres. There are two techniques to accomplish this, here they are
Clean the air conditioning system of your Scion tC in a simple way
Once you have a disinfectant spray, you can easily clean your car’s air-conditioning system.
The method is quite simple, even so, this technique can dirty the inside of your Scion tC.
- Take out 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, push the button on the bomb to empty it gradually and close the motor vehicle doors and leave it on for about ten minutes.
- Once this time has passed, open the doors of your Scion tC, ventilation still on and let the passenger compartment air out for about 20 minutes.
This solution will allow you to fairly quickly clean the air-conditioning system of your Scion tC, but if you have bad air-conditioning odours on your Scion tC that are persistent, we recommend you to utilise the second approach.
