No matter what kind of car or how old, it will start to stink if you use the air conditioner. What causes this? How do you prevent it or get rid of it?

   The air conditioner for some water will keep any dirt lint or dust from the air conditioner for extended periods of the problem the water collects in the unit however it is no easy way to sit stagnant in the base of the water will keep any dirt lint or in.
   For extended periods of the problem will be reduced if you carefully clean the base of the air conditioners.
