I saved $100s fixing my own A/C after fan broke

A CONTENT creator has revealed she's fed up with taking her car to the mechanic to fix her air conditioning that had broken down.

She and her partner took matters into their own hands as they tried to uncover what was causing the issue with her car.

In a YouTube clip, April said that her Nissan car smelled like death and was tired of paying the mechanic.

So, her other half Royce disassembled the inside of her vehicle and tried to solve the issue after watching a video online.

April said that her fan made a shaking noise before it stopped working.

Royce looked into the glovebox before pulling the fan out of the compartment.

The fan had blood spatter on it and a dead mouse was pulled from the unit.

And, the creature had made a gigantic-looking nest out of April’s car’s firewall, which she described as “lovely.”

April said she will have to fork out for a new air filter.

She said: “Life happens and when it does, it shouldn’t have to cost you a fortune.

"We just got to learn to do things ourselves and very often the answer will be here on YouTube.”

April revealed that fixing a car at home, rather than taking it to a garage, means drivers can save money that can be used to buy things like supplies.

Viewers rushed to comment and shared what they’d found hidden in their car’s air filter.

One YouTuber said: “We see this far too often, we own an automotive repair shop and you wouldn’t believe what we find in people’s blower motors and filters.”

Another claimed: “We found a bird stuck behind my bumper once and my husband’s car had a back stuck to the radiator. You never know what you’re going to find.”

Influencers have told how they’ve tried to eliminate bad smells from their cars.

Fellow content creator Michael Byrne complained that he couldn’t remove the horse-like odor from his motor.

He examined the car’s air filter, removed the panels, and discovered that it was full of what looked like grass.

Michael then told how he bought a bottle of The Chemical Guys New Car smell spray for less than $10, putting some on a cloth that helps keep his vehicle fresh.

Others have revealed how they used coffee beans to keep their cars smelling fresh.
