MY13.5 Passat AC smells like a wet dog

[Amalgam]

I also found that 'drying out' your a/c (a/c off & fresh air) for a short period of time, say 5 minutes before shutting down, helps prevents the smells from returning.

UPDATE

So I did the glen 20 disinfect and it seems to have worked. Fingers crossed

Get yourself a tissue paper - put the car in the garage where there is no breeze/wind- then turn on the fan to max. Place the tissue paper on various parts of the car's exterior (likely places) until you see it being sucked-in by the interior fan.

I did this on my mk7 Golf - found that the inlet vents for the interior fan were on either side of the windshield well (near the wiper blade parking points).

then grab yourself a tin of Glen 20 spray - put a tube inside the sprayer head (I removed the original sprayer head and replaced it with a head from a silicon spray can - it had the tube already affixed,

then turn off the AC and put the fan onto slow - spray about an eighth of the can into each vent (make sure that you don't lose the tube down the inlet vent)- continue with the fan-on for about 10 minutes until the Glen 20 is completely circulated.

Great tip Don. I didn't think of using a tissue nor the silicones can spray nozzle

Since I posted this and having done the glen 20 clean out by taking the pollen filter out I've had no issues with smell.

Great trick
