Hello everyone I am a new proud owner of an A4. I purchased the car just about 2 months ago. I love the car; however, ever since day #3, the car has had this foul odor in it. It smells like when u open a bag of dry cat food.........................It is nauseating. Has anyone else encountered this smell?

 

i would check your pollen filter.. it could have gotten wet and be smelly

and welcome

 

My car has been back to the dealer 5 times and they still can not get rid of the smell

 

Today I met with an Audi Corporate Technician to see if he could troubleshoot the smell. Unfortunately he did not have a great sense of smell, which did not help me out.

 

They did find water in the heater box, and cleaned it out and then sprayed an neutralizer in the vents, but the smell is still there.

 

atleast its under warrenty.. other then the filter i dont have any idea what could cause the smell

 

where is it coming from, backseat, trunk, glove compartment, engine bay? Has it rained lately?

 

Try to find where it is coming from. Vents or sometimes carpet. If it is carpet, try some fabreze spray to try to get rid of the smell. If you can locate source on the carpet, and fabreze doesn't stop it, go to a pet store and buy one of the pet products with enzymes (eg Nature's miracle). Saturate the spot that smells. It takes up to 2 weeks for the enzumes to beake down the smell.

 

or get the whole car detailed inside, this could be like the jerry seinfeld episodes where the vallet stunk this **** out of his car. Deff find the smell, and try what david said other then that keep on audi

 

yea they said there tryin to come out with some new filter or somethin but yea that smell sucks in the heat
