[QUOTE="saat, post: 749331, member: 77"] The aircon has a Microfilter containing activated charcoal. Its primary function is to filter out bad air. The filter is NOT cleanable and It should be replaced every 3rd service or if there's problems by the SC. The Microfilter is located under the glovebox. Try switching to Manual Recirc mode, to ensure that the bad smell you are experiencing is not from bad outside air. If the Microfilter is no longer effective, try running the aircon full blast at full heat for a period of time. That should clear any musky or mouldy smell. Check to see if the smell is coming from the carpet in the footwell area. A mouldy carpet does gives off the smell when wet. Check that the aircon drain is clear, there should be water dripping below the car when the aircon is running and not wet the carpet. If that fails, then the only option is to service the aircon system, removing and cleaning the cooling coil and ducts. [/QUOTE]
