Air conditioner cleaning - Toyota Corolla, 1.6L, 2007
And so, I also decided to clean the condo.
Found 2 types in the city:
StepUP (unfortunately I don't remember the price, but around 300 rubles)
ABRO (Made in the USA, price 320 rubles)
Because StepUP was sold without a straw and, no one knows when they will be brought, I decided to try ABRO, especially since the people above posted that they used this tool.
1. Take out the front passenger mat and turn off the carpet in the left corner (for greater convenience, you can remove the plastic pad on the left side of the right passenger's feet)
On the attached label in Russian to ABRO, it was written that the cleaning should be done through the central air ducts, but I still decided to do it through the drainage tube.
2. We take any plastic bottle, even a 1.5 liter bottle, I used a washer canister. We cut out a hole in it (seen in the picture below) and pass the tube from the cleaner can there, insert the pulled out drainage system tube (white in the picture above) into the neck of the bottle and push the tube from the cleaner into the drainage system tube until it stops.
3. Shake the bottle and pour the contents into the system.
4. Then I pulled the wiper tube out of the bottle and left the drain tube in place.
The advantage of this method is that we really see what is pouring out and how. There was practically no smell! Not a single drop was spilled, all the liquid remained in the bottle.
5. We are waiting for 10 minutes and then we start the machine and turn on the air conditioner, the fan speed is at maximum, the direction of the air does not matter. We observe how the liquid is poured out to the end.
The instructions say wait 2 minutes and turn off the condo, in fact it happened. The liquid leaked out, turn off the condo and turn off the machine.
6. We take out a container with an obscure color of muck and calmly put the drain hose back on. In this case, no liquid was flowing anymore!
Outcome:
We evaluate the work)) Price tag: 320 ₽
It's useful, I just bought myself the same only air conditioner freshener aerosol, I will do it with foam next year. As I understand it, we insert the drainage system tube into the neck, and in the bottle we make a hole for the tube from the product, then connected them in the bottle and poured the foam right?
Honestly speaking, I don’t remember, but not completely. As soon as it rests hard, it means enough to stick the hose.
I tried an air conditioner cleaner from Liqui Moly www.drive2.ru/cars/toyota.../288230376152118347/#post
When the airflow was turned on to the maximum, foam did not come out of the air ducts?
Good afternoon, thank you so much for the work done! I wondered how to sneak up on this drainage))) but tell me, is it normal that during the procedure (strictly according to the "gost"), liquid was dripping from 2 places in my dressing room, I attach a photo from the white part and the black part in front of it? www.e1.ru/fun/photo/view_...ad9879e413224779dd7b83cb7
tell me with such cleaning with foam through a tube ... does foam reach the evaporator? or does it have to be manually cleaned? and then after half a year I smell again ... only when you turn off the condo.

I open the hatch of the evaporator body and carefully with a vacuum cleaner, then rinse it with chlorhexidine.
The effect is better and longer)
And where to find this hatch, tell me plz?
Already bought a spray bottle and chlorhexidine. There is no way to get there 😋

I know! But! In my city they do not do this aiming, respectively, asking to do something that they have not done before is dangerous, they can screw up. Itself as it is not up to this, especially run a large and frequent filter replacement ...
Balonchiki, all this is nonsense)
As usual, the evaporator of the air conditioner can be washed and disinfected only under service conditions.
Although I also serve mine myself)
