Smell from the heater/defroster
It smells almost like dirt, i havn't had the car long (About 4 months) and this is pretty much the only thing wrong with it. I wish i could describe the smell better. Maybe the cabin filter? BTW, she has 58,000 miles.
any help is appreciated, thank you.

well known ailment of 210 a/c (inherent with its design) is the mold smell which
eminates from the outlets. dont know if this is 'dirt' smell. but one thing to
keep in mind is that you can fix by masking the smell (air fresheners) or to go
to the source (smell eliminator). once you isolate the source of the problem,
you may opt to use something like this ---> CLINK

I always make sure to turn ON the E/C button a few miles before my destination. This makes sure you run the AC system dry leaving no condensation. All that condensation drying up slowly in warm weather grows molds/fungi/and stuff.
