Aircon / heaters smells damp & fusty

[Douchebag]

First things first the car is a 51 plate Clio 172 Ph2 w/ Aircon

I noticed a funny smell that was on with the fans, wasn't too bothered in the summer. Now it's cold & I'm using the fans more it's becoming more of a pain!

If I press the button to "recycle" the air the smell isn't noticable. As soon as that turns off it smells sort of damp....and fusty. If fusty is even a real word??

Anyway. I had the aircon re-gassed thinking it might help but it hasn't done anything to get rid of the smell.


Please feed me with ideas of how to resolve this annoying problem! A quick search suggests a cabin filter but I don't know how to change it & if it will fix it!

Thanks people

Yeah, it's an abreviation of fuckin' musty.

Pollen filter maybe ?

Offside scuttle area not 100% on that though

Yeah you'll probably need a clean out of the scuttle panel area and a new panel filter put in. This should help the majority of the problem.

Either that or one of those smoke bomb things.
