Ok, lets start with I'm a bad bad person and never installed a cabin filter in my 06 TC. I am the only owner and never smoked in it but I live in the Southwest so there is a lot of dust in the air out here.

I'm hoping that I can get in my AC system and see if there is dust/lint/other build up on my heating core or AC coils and if that dust can be vacuumed out.

Has anyone done this and know what all is going to be required for me to clean here?

I know I can figure it out on my own but some heads up advice might be helpful to get me started in the right direction.

 

Frigi fresh

 

I was tired when I posted: frigi fresh when done correctly is the strongest chemical ever IMHO. It will stink for 2 days after, then flakes will fly out vent like ash, (was the dirt and odor chemicals it bonds too and ozones) then gets blow out vent or sucked out with a vacuum. Follow instructions and don't half ___ it, do it once and never do it again. Put a cabin filter in afterwards. Take it out beforehand and or get a new one IMHO. Anywho have to keep windows down for 2 days as the smell will be bad, but I just did it recently because had mold in vents (didnt know of filter not being there) and it removed it and smells better than factory. Pretty amazing stuff, cost like 20-30 bucks. Dealership should carry it.

 

If the dust made its way in, it will eventually makes it way out. Leave it be and search for another useful project.
