I was wondering if other jazz owners experience, a smell from there aircon when driving for the first few minutes, may last like 5 secs then goes back to normal?

its pretty usual for airconditioners to let out kind of a bad smell when theres been rain since condensation forms inside the a/c and (dunno if its the right word) "rots" things. I always notice it after its been raining and i turn the a/c on (in my LS, dads rav and mum's 626). Also asked auto electrician about it... So if ur car has been left out in the rain overnight im guessing thats the reason

No rain either, for a while. Its actaully gotten to a point where it was not too bad to a point of WTF is this smell it reeks for 40sec and have to wind all the windows down to let it out.....It's really bad to a point that my honda dealer will address the problem at the next service.
