2011 C300 - Cabin smell
When starting the vehicle with the AC on, there is like a rotten egg/stinky cheese smell coming into the cabin. Once the vehicle runs for a bit, the smell disappears.
Is there a cabin filter that might need to be changed?
What can be done to get rid if this smell?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated, THANK YOU!

Quick video on Youtube. Guy is doing a 2014 C250. I've done this on numerous cars and works great. However, I usually sprayed into the vents under the windshield wipers. You will want to be sure you don not put ac on re-circlulate.

A new cabin air filter really does a great job. I've noticed after about 15,000 miles they start to not work as well. By 20,000 they need replacing. I do mine every oil change.
