Default Klima-Cleaner, what's the trick?

So my A/C stinks and it won't go away. I got some Klima-Cleaner in the mail yesterday. If you shine a flashlight in the dash vents you can see a perforated plastic shield about 6" back - there's no way the nozzle of the Klima-Cleaner is going to get past that.

Or should I get the car on blocks and spray it in the evaporator drain like it suggest "for professionals"?


EDIT: I found this: http://www.audiforum.ca/showthread.php?t=65849

Still curious if anyone here has first hand experience with it

Yep, I had good results spraying about half the can in each of the side vents as well.

UPDATE:

It worked great. The swamp smell has completely gone away. The whole car smells like a can of lemon pledge exploded - but it's fading pretty quickly.

Just wondering before I apply to mine, has anyone used this on 2011 A4?

Mine is a 2011. Keep in mind you have to squirt it in the side vents - the middle vents are covered by a mesh that's too small for the injector.

Thank you.

I did apply to mine, but was able to get in from left side vents only. Hopefully the smell will be gone since we really need the A/C on now.
