Asked by Davied227 May 09, 2015 at 11:54 AM about the 2001 Hyundai Sonata V6 GLS FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a smell in the car when running the AC. I feel the evaporator is leaking freon so I was wondering if the dash has to be removed to get to the evaporator. air is no longer working

It's actually R134a...and that gas has a "faint sweetish odor" according to the MSDS. So if you are detecting a sour or other unpleasant odor, the refrigerant gas is not what you smell . The problem with the A/C is elsewhere.
