Are you guys running the car on Auto or Recirculate all the time?

stinky air con? anyone?

 

Yah! Me Too! Sometimes It Smells Like Bigfoots *** When I Turn Mine On!

 

We call 'box' the garage... The site where the car sleeps for 24 h ....
Anyway no recirculation at all. I rather don't need it.
I live in an open area . No smog.
AC stays most of time on 'AUTO'.

 

ok so i guess mine is normal then..thanks for the reply everyone.

 

Mention P-B-83.30/74d MAR06 Air Conditioning Musty/Moldy Odor Complaints. Although this DTB is specific to C, CLK, and the E class, there’s no doubt in my mind it will soon be updated to include the CLS.

Under certain conditions, typically in a hot and humid climate more noticeable when starting the vehicle due to residual condensation on the evaporator and on the interior surface of the heater box, the vehicle may emit a musty/moldy odor from the air conditioning system. Wynn’s AIRCOMATIC Ultrasonic A/C Cleaning System together with Wynn’s AIRCO-CLEAN Ultrasonic A/C Treatment is recommended.

If within three months after using the Wynn’s product the air conditioning continues to emit a musty/moldy odor from the vents a new slanted heater box which allows condensation to drain better and a PU coated evaporator may be needed (early production vehicles).

Also worth mentioning at this time: P-B-94.20/05b AUG06 Odor in the Interior, VIN range A000001 to A075800. A strong oily (putty) or acidic (vinegar) or butyric acid (rancid butter) odor may be the soundproofing mat on the interior side of the transmission tunnel. This odor will be present even with the engine and HVAC turned off and becomes more intense after being parked for an extended period of time with the windows and roof closed. The soundproofing material should be replaced and any stains removed.
