You can help yourself by not getting any bacterial buildup in the vents with the simple process of when you finish your daily drive and you have had the A/C on…… You leave the engine running but with the A/C off which drys out all of the pipes and vents. I would recommend you using a Antibacterial A/C cleaner,basically it is a Aerosol Fogger which you place inside of your car near the intake vent for the A/C,you leave it spraying ( it’s like a fine mist ) with the engine running and the A/C on full blast for about 15 minutes. The mist is ingested through the entire system and it gets into all the nooks and crannies of the horrible ridged piping and neutralises the bacteria that causes the strange smell. You might have to do the process a couple of times or you can get a Car Valeter/Detailer to help you out with the process ( They have stronger chemicals than you can get over the counter ). Definitely get in the habit of Drying out the system after using the A/c though ! It’s only 5 minutes with the AC off and vents fully open ( turn off the Auto mode ). Most cars these days the AC is on ALL the time and even in Winter ( it’s actually more efficient in winter than summer because it will dry out the condensation in the car and allow the windscreen demister to work quicker,if you look at your Cars instruction manual it will tell you to turn on the recirculating mode as the air temperature within the car is warmer than the AC taking in Air from the outside ( it can dry out the air volume quickly within the cab ). Most AC default position is taking Air from the outside but it will work quicker if you turn on the recycling mode. The Vent for Air coming into the cab of the car is generally at the bottom of the windscreen under the plastic cover and there will also be a cabin air filter in there as well… it is quite important to keep that area clean of Leaf litter and general Road dust/debris ( the AC will be more efficient and save you money on cabin air filters )

Is this the same process for the D4
I would think so, the evaporator and cabin filter should be in similar location..
Wrong
Care to elaborate?
@@ronancahill1070 it is not to fill the duct but reach the aircon heat transfer device. The foam needs to go deep into the metal mesh.
