Stoney871 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Is it coming from the vents? If so it may well be bacteria build up. In that case buy a can of aircon cleaner from Halfords and follow the instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scudney Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 have you changed your pollen filter recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 A clogged or wet pollen filter will reduce airflow through the vents so probably the best and first point of investigation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 with the aircon not working its likely the moisture that stays in the system has turned to bacteria very nasty not advisable to be breathing that in if you get the aircon refilled and a bacterial clean then it should go away if it was the cat youde smell it at the tail pipe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
