MK7 "Random / "Stupid" Questions Thread"

I assume this question fits in this thread.

My 2016 MK7 has a strange odor near the pedals on the driver side. Best way to describe it is musty/sour. Having a hell of a time pinpointing what it is.

Bought the car used from a reputable dealer in the Chicago area. No flood damage according to them nor from what I can tell. A couple months after purchase I was cleaning the interior and found a sludgy substance on the plastic underneath the steering wheel. So I’m assuming that was missed when they cleaned the interior?

Curious if anyone else has encountered this and what I can do to get rid of the odor. Note: it can only be smelled if I’m in the area near the pedals not from a driving position.

Does anyone know what the vacuum line beside the secondary air injection hose is for? I'm going to take the stock air box out & insert a 3" outer diameter steel exhaust pipe into the stock piping and then a conical filter onto the other end of the steel exhaust pipe. Use a small breather for the SAI, so my question is where would I, or what would I do with the vacuum line?

Mods - please, enough already.

That should be ban worthy language, no?

Nah whoever replies to me with these bs answers should be banned.

I'm asking a question on the "stupid questions" thread......because it's probably stupid to most people, but I don't know the answer to it....So if you people really have nothing better to do than waste your time, and mine with this bs, then you definitely need to get a life.

I mean i personally talked to this kid a few days ago and told him to come to this thread to get stupid questions answered, but the way he responds to people has made me see enough. I can see about 20 different infractions. I hate banning people but enough is enough. He only got a 1 month ban, next time will be permanent.
