I've recently begun experiencing an "old socks" smell through the HVAC system in my Octavia. If the A/C is switched on, it goes away within a few seconds and all is good. The moment I turn it off, the smell returns.
I have removed the cabin air filter and it smells like old socks. Running without the cabin filter results in the same smell though.
I've tried spraying air freshner etc. through the cabin filter area and it helps for a few minutes before the bad smell returns.
Can anyone recommend a spray that works well for this stuff, and perhaps a better location to spray..
Google seems to indicate that a few VW vehicles have the same issue.
