Re: [alfa] Musty smell

Fred-

AC Mustiness is kinda a fact of life for older AC systems... I seem to 
recall that we have some real experts on that part of the car on this 
list, so I'll defer to them. As far as the seats go, I'd recommend 
rejuvenating them with AlfaBill's Leatherique. Actually, don't use his 
personal leatherique, since that would be stealing. But buy some from 
him. Also, check if the mustiness is coming from the seat leather or 
the seat foam. Could be that someone left a window open long long ago 
and didn't let it dry correctly afterwards.
