Sock Smell is Back

[dazza]

Started running the AC again and the sock smell is back. Truth is it never really went away.

I've replaced the cabin filter last year and used a can of Einszett Air Conditioning Klima Cleaner.

I get a nice puddle on the garage floor after using the AC so don't think the drain is blocked.

I've also tried switching to econ a few minutes before i get home.

And even driving in econ mode with the windows open.

Please help there must be a fix for this.

Night be worth getting the gas changed and ant bac put through it. I had mine done a couple of weeks ago at my local VW garage which cost £50. :)

As above, a full vacuum and recharge of the refrigerant with an anti-bacterial agent will likely get it sorted. Takes a couple of hours to do properly.

Thanks for your help guys how often does the gas need to be changed?
