Check the intake in the frunk for leaves.My filters have never smelled. Neither has a coworker's my. But the car still stank.
The intake is clear. Also the my has the hepa filters which prevent that issue.Check the intake in the frunk for leaves.
Have you documented any of the details? Link?No one, and I guarantee you no one has done what I have done. They all ass-u-me-d.
The filter is the only thing I can remove and hold it to my nose. The filter is not stinky. What is causing the stink? That is still the mystery.Have you documented any of the details? Link?
If they are as thorough as the Road Noise & Front Wind Noise thread you did, I would be Very interested to see what variations you have tested and the conclusions you have come to, and if they apply to all geographical locations.
If the intake screen (way down inside the opening) is free from leaves then the condenser may have mold. A foam AC cleaning like Klima or Kool-it will help. I use 2 cans Klima when I replace my filters every 6 months. No stink.The filter is the only thing I can remove and hold it to my nose. The filter is not stinky. What is causing the stink?

What kind of climate do you find yourself living in? I haven't had any issue after replacing my filters, car was low miles relatively when I bought it, turns out the filter gets dirtier than I would expect. I also did the coil cleaning with that green can and a 3D printed adapter for the top and bottom coils.So my car continues to have this issue after replacing the filters and cleaning the coils twice. I even removed the filters and fogged the intake with lysol while the fan was running. I'm thinking the mold spread up the vents after the previous owner left it uncleaned for too long. Has anyone used an ozone generator to clear the smell? It's the only other solution I can think of.
Is the smell persistent or does it go away shortly after you start the ventilation? Before going to the drastic step of ozone generation I would park the car in the sun with all windows open, power off the car and let it sit for an hour. Keep an eye out for rain.So my car continues to have this issue after replacing the filters and cleaning the coils twice.

Do you have cabin overheat protection activated or “No AC”?So my car continues to have this issue after replacing the filters and cleaning the coils twice.

I did. I see this was useless as everyone assumes that today is my first day and I've not read through this post. I ask about ozone generators and everyone wants to re-diagnose because it couldn't be even remotely possible that I have a damn clue what I'm doing. Thanks anyway.Marsh,
In your case I'd be tempted to try the klima stuff. It would also be a good test to see if your drain isn't clogged. The klima needs to drain out.
Yes, tried a Lysol product. Helped for a while, but nothing ever makes it go away.Have you tried fogging the car using this or a similar product? It worked for me but my issue was mild and promptly addressed.
