Hi, The aircon in our van appears to have dandruff, it blows white dust when we turn it on, does anyone have any ideas as to the cause of this.  thanks Dave.

Service it ! We had similar when the foam filter broke down . Chances are it's pulling some foam from sealing on install ?? Take covers off and check . A mate of mine has a product he sprays through condenser to clean AC's . Works well .
