Smelly fans!!!

I have a slight problem....
When i turn the ignition on and start the car, and the climate control is on there is a funny eggy smell. It only happens for a small period of time but it is horrible...

Any ideas what it could be...

cabin filter?

could be a bit of moisture in the heating system. Best thing to do is leave the car running with the doors open and crank up the heater full. It should dry out all the moisture and stop the smell.

Well, i thought that but just had a service done about a month and a half ago. Mind you, it has only started doing it not long after that!
I thought it may be something to do with the aircon?

 

[TONKA84]

Cool. I will try that later on.
It is like a damp smell so could be that!

If you have aircon it could be the build up of moisture around the evaporator when in use has caused a build-up of nasty smelling bacteria in the drip tray below it. You can get many anti-bacterial sprays for this from car dealers or the likes of Halfords.

does it smell all the time?
could be a motor burning out

My car used to smell like eggs after the air con had been on. Since I've replaced the pollen filter it's been fine.

I have tried the Doors open with the heat on full blast and it has worked a little bit, but it is still smelling.

owzrules: It dont smell all the time, just when i first start the car up...
