    Pollen filter is accesible above the front passenger foot well form memory.

    I believe the smell comes from bacteria that grow in the air con vents due to condensation.
    Best bet is just to turn off the system about 1km from home so it has time to warm up.

    Can be remedied by spraying Glen 20 into the aircon vents.
