Question E150 01' A/C Mint or Menthol Problem
When I start the engine and turn on the A/C sometimes I smell something like a Mint or Menthol from the vent that Lasted for few minutes. What could be the cause of that smell? Hope someone can help me

Thanks

Somebody dropped a cough drop in your defrost vent Check your windshield washer fluid hose under the grill under the wiper arms and make sure its not leaking into the freshair intake.

No leak in washer fluid, I think there's a little refrigerant leak. What is the best and coolest brand of refrigerant? Pls. give me a link on how to clean and recharge the A/C

Go to www.acsource.com I think they have a additive called Icee 32 or something like that.

any possibility of a heater core leak? The coolant has a 'sweet' smell to it.

I'm not sure if the heater core is leaking but r134a is low again after few weeks. My heater is not working when I got the truck
