Hello everyone, I totally agree, but before disassembling, it verifies the filter well if it brings it and the state in which it is since they suspend them because they do not have the refaction, and another thing that you cannot ignore is the drain of the system these systems when generating condensation must throw water that is normal, and the way to test it is to close the windows and put the AC to full after about 15 or 20 minutes, below the vehicle Or water drip, if there is no may be covered and this is what causes you moisture in the condenser.

Hello friends! Really thanks to all for your advice. As Tatesosdelab recommended I looked under the glove compartment of my car but the filter was not, it turns out that in my car (Renault Megane Classic of 2006), the air conditioning filter can be extracted by opening the car cap and it can be said that it is at the height of the cleansing of the driver's side.

I took the filter and replaced it with a new one since I was super dirty! Additionally I followed the advice of fellow Oscar76 and bought an antibacterial spray and sprinkled it in the evaporator.

The smell of moisture disappeared a lot, but not completely, there is a minimum of a strange smell, so I still suspect that the evaporator has a problem. Now I will execute the advice of the friend Mecaney and I will test with the closed windows.

As soon as I do that test I write to inform you.

Greetings
