I have just purchased the above car and everytime I have recycle air on in the car there is a bad mouldy smell that I just cannot seem to get rid of - is this coming from the Cabin Air Filter and if that needs changing can I do it myself? Help help.

if you are using the air conditioner all time try to remember to flick the a/c button off but leave the fan running about 1 minute before you reach your destination. Or sit in the car before you get out for the same period of time with the fan on , this will allow your internal condenser to evaporate and get rid of the moisture. Also try putting your vent on fresh air and not recirculate, this will allow it to dry quicker. I hope this helps.

it's normal and you can't fix it. it's from the rotting rice that the japanese employees left inside the doors, seats, dash etc. they take their lunch breaks in the cars. you probably have some sushi in there also rotting away. Americans use the break rooms for their lunch so try an American car next time.

Take it back to the Dealer and see the 'Service Manager' for auto repairs.It may be something that they are aware of or had experienced before.
