If you find out what is causing the smell please let me know....both my C36 and 190e are giving off the same sulfer smell. Unfortunately my Jetta doesn't so bad gas is not likely the cause in my case. The C36 does it mainly after I drive the car up a steep hill. I just hope it isn't the cat....i have read somewhere tha it could be the gas I'm using...which admittedly is cheap (Costco), but with today's prices.....

It is most likely the gas, esp. if you live here in Cali. I think they are changeing over to the summer blend.

have you guys replaced the O2 sensor recently?
i remember i used to have that smell when my O2 sensor (the one after the cat) was about to go out.
after replacing the sensor the smell went away as well
been using same gas for years, gas wasn't the issue in my case
