Brand New '14 Screw and there's a foul smell blowing through the vents when the A/C is working. Any ideas? Im thinking mold build up but not sure. I know VW's had this issue. Anyone else with or has had this problem? Thx

Just picked up my '13 in September and it doesn't have any odor through the system...I'm not sure what it would be...

My '11 needed to "burn off" some stuff and smelled a bit for a few hundred miles. But then on was fine.

New 2014 Range Rovers, and RR sport condenser suppliers failed to coat the component with anti fungal material. The smell was like someone pissed under the dash. The smell would arrive around 500 miles and up.

Hopefully its not the same supplier!!
