Just got A/C regassed, now smells foul..

[Shounak]

I just had my radiator pressure checked and my entire A/C system regassed in my car..

I got it back yesterday and the A/C smells like vomit. It's disgusting. The heater doesn't smell bad, it's just the cold air..

All of the above got done through insurance so should I contact them to fix it up? And do you know what there is to fix up?

Cheers

Mould grows on the evaporator, there is a spray you can get for it, dont know exactly what its called and weather you need to pull it apart, maybe if you sprayed it into the recirc vent and let the fan carry it through.

where abouts is that vent located?

that vent will (hopefully, I'm not positive because I install Air Conditioners on Toyota's not Commodores) be behind your glovebox, pull the little black pin out from the right hand side at the bottom of your glovebox and the fan should be situated behind it, make sure the vents are set to recirc and not fresh, and try spraying some disinfectant into the fan box whilst your A/C is operating, if possible try and angle the disinfectant towards the centre console which is where your evaporator should/will be positioned
