Hey Fellow Golfers,
Now my 2014 GTI, started making a bad smell as soon as I start my AC (Usually fades away after 1 min of operation), that's after six months of ownership, I don't know how to describe the smell, but for me it smells like mmmm... KETCHUP that's the closest I can describe it to, anyways I had a coolant problem (which resulted in changing of my thermostat under warranty btw costs 2500 Dirhams), so while fixing my car I asked the service guy there to check for this bad smell, then after checking it he said it's normal and it's an anti-bacterial agent in the AC filter that causes that smell, and blah blah and he said he cleaned it and in case it returns just get the car back to service. Guess WHAT?? it's still rockin some heinz up in my cabin!!! Is anyone experiencing the same thing if so any suggestions. Peace
