Bad smells from air vents ?
Bad smells are coming from my
air vents, especially bad in the mornings and
this thing started right after my
20K service which included a pollen
filter change. Smell is reminiscent of
mildew/dust/some windshield washer alcohol
in the background. Also, a hint of
Madagascar cinnamon (this of course is a
joke
).
Anyhow, my first thought is this is some
sort of break-in for the pollen filter.
Anyone else had this?
Cheers,

You also can obtain from Mercedes Benz dealer or VW dealer a HVAC product that kills off
mold/spores and deodorizes system...once problem of clogged drain is resolved then you would need to use this product...maybe Audi has too...I just know for a fact that MB and VW has..
