Re: Vinegar type smell coming from vents

Re: Vinegar type smell coming from vents

Hmmm that's a good idea, I do have a knack for running recycled air all the time. Cool thanks mate, I have been looking at some of those Aircon cans, might o...

Need some clarification cause it's really bugging me and will do my head in all night...
