I have noticed today that I'm getting a bad smell from the heater vents in my D4. It is almost like a sewage sort of smell.
Has anyone had this or have any idea what it could be.
Many thanks I have something to say! It's better to burn out... than to fade away!

Bacteria build up from your air-con?

Yep, you need a can of debugger.

I had a similar thing with my old D3 here:

turned out it was the washer bottle and the smell was being sucked back through the vents when I drove. Baby sterilising fluid sorted it out perfectly.

You can get a tin of aircon cleaner, you put the aircon on full put the tin on the floor release it and close the doors.
It works 95% of the time sometimes with such a big system you might have to do it twice.

As others say its probably your washer bottle but in reply to your question about 'debuggers', I have found Comma Air Con Cleaner effective and well worth a fiver to freshen up the system (I think Halfords sell it or have a look at evil bay item eBay Item No. 150965119229). Its easy to use and comes with instructions; basically you set your air con on full, activate the can, close the door and leave it to do its work. Now an ex D3 owner but still with a brace of FL2s

I'd recommend Valeo ClimSpray, is a bit more expensive but works very well The End

As bacteria is the root cause, I've previously been advised to turn the heating to max, run it for 15 and let the blighters burn!
