Horrible smell after turning A/C off

7speed

I thought the smell was from sardines I stupidly ate in the car one time. But the description sounds right, I never smell anything with ac. Wonder if they can replace lines under warranty??

fwiw, ive been told in the past to keep the fresh air setting on a much as possible to avoid mold growth. so i usually drive with the ac off and the fresh air setting on. occasionally, i will get a musty smell after it rains, but it will go away after driving the car for a bit. to avoid this, i put the air on recirculate mode if i am in the car when it is raining.

basically, damp & warm air will promote mold growth. so keep the fresh air coming in to dry everything out, or keep the ac on to keep it cold.

edit: i don't think it is possible to have outside air and the ac on at the same time.

Outside air and A/C is always on if in upper air settings, otherwise your windows would fog up. In the defrost setting you are actually unable to set it in air re-circulation mode.

Just try it, put it in recirculation mode with A/C on, 1 minute later you will be blind
