Hi Guys

My c63 currently is having a very bad smell coming from the air con whenever I first start the car. Especially on a hot day like it is in Australia. Has anyone had a similar experience? If so, what would be the solution.

Merc Syd just sprayed so much disinfectant in it, I almost died on the wheel, and once that smell left, its now the same.

I had a B service there and they changed the pollen filter for me, but that didn't do anything.

Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated =)

Cheers

Google "einszett Klima-Cleaner"

It is a fantastic product.

Klima might or might not solve the problem; I recommend taking it to the dealer if it's still under warranty (ask for the foam treatment).
It's a very common problem especially for humid areas... my experience.

Mine always smells as well but like I said in previous post mine smells like alcohol or grapes fermenting to wine.

Same thing happened to mine, I took it to my dealer, they fixed it for free... only thing I smell now is 'fear' from the other drivers around me

Replace filter under your cubby and your problem will be fixed.

Another option is that if you keep the aircon on recirculate mode, water can get trapped in the system leaving a lovely wet towel smell, try switching off recirculate mode a min or so before you turn off the car to allow the water to drain out. I had this problem with my wifes Inifniti as well.

Foam treatment fixed it for me.

A point of clarity for those who haven't used Klima-Cleaner. It is a foaming treatment. I've used it in my M5 and my Pickup. Both times it solved the "musty odor" problem.
