Musty smell



  Fabia VRS Special Ed
I bought the car the other day and it seems to have a very strong musty smell inside, it has a sunroof and I have checked all doors, the sunroof, boot etc for leakage but it's all fine.

Any ideas of what it could be?

Is this common on this car?

Thank you
Liam
 
if it has air-con it might need a cleaner through it,its like a smoke bomb you let off in car whilst air -con is running.

Been smoked in. Get an air freshener.

Could have been, anything I can do to take away the smell mate?

Tbh the smell went yesterday when I'd cleaned it but then I went out for a couple of hours and it came back again, I had the aircon running throughout. What should I do bud?
 
Ah if it went and came back then it probs wont be smoke related.

Aircon need cleaning etc. Out of my depth now.

You probably have a leak, I can bet one of the footwells is damp, also try under the seats. If so. Take the carpets and foam out to dry. And spray the car with the hose and see where it comes in.

It could be that the drain holes in the scuttle panel are blocked. On mine this caused water to overflow into the cabin.
