    Hi all,
    I was hoping someone can provide me a link or copy of the TSB for the “a/c system odor”. I went to BBB industries, and found it applied to the tundra and not the Tacoma, however I’d like a copy to take to the dealer..bbb ind website only shows page 1, not the whole tsb. My 17 Tacoma has the mold/ musty/ ass smell. I have an appt Monday for them to check evap drain line and possibly use the cleaner on the evap...

    Thanks!

    Have you changed out your cabin air filter? It's right behind the glove box, very easy to change. I've done this with good success.

    Auto supply stores sell a product similar to Lysol that you spray into the IN vent while running the A/C full bore....

    Do it 2 times for bad ass smell.... it works

    My 07 used to get real bad. Then I started changing the cabin air filter every 6 months with those fram arm & hammer ones. No more smell. I have them auto ship from Amazon as a reminder.
