Just to let ppl know I tried 100 things and nothing worked. Finally I bought a new Cabin Filter and BOOM! it was instantly fixed. Smell went away and hasn't come back in days.

ended up buying the filter from vw parts for $36 as i couldnt be bothered waiting for it to arrive from an online site
funky a\c smell is all but gone

put a few drops of tea tree or eucalyptus oil on the filter. Will help kill anything growing in the system.
