im getting a funny sour smell when I turn the AC on, normally goes away after a minute or so. is that normal? anyone else gets that as well?

 

check your cabin air filter?

 

happens to me a lot, I think its a common problem

 

Someone on here posted an awesome fix for this...I'm sorry to plagiarize and not give credit for it..this was NOT my idea, but it really helped!

Switch your AC off for the last few minutes of driving...it dries out the compressor and makes it harder for the funky bacteria to grow.

I live in Taipei where it is VERY humid all of the time, and this REALLY helped the problem a lot! I also invested in a high-quality air freshener in my car...now it smells nice, even right after I turn on the AC.
