If an auto air conditioner is run in "Max" or "recirculate" mode too often it will build up a mold that gives off a terrible odor.

BG Chemicals makes a service kit to clean the evaporator without removing it. Go to bgfindashop.com and they will list repair shops near you that can perform the service.

BG is a toxic solution. There is new product called DWD2, which has just recently been accredited by the Asthma Foundation, and Repco Australia I believe are about to distribute.
Easy to administer from an aerosol can and catheter, it costs under $100 and takes ten minutes.
It is entirely non-toxic expanding foam that entirely coats the unit, completely destroying all mould, fungus and bacterial growth at the source, rather than masking symptoms with harsh chemicals.
