Why is my Renault Scenic's air conditioning smelly?
Our Renault Scenic 2006 1.5 diesel has developed a strange and unpleasant smell emanating from the air conditioning, especially when the unit is first turned on. We run the air conditioning generally when driving, although many journeys are of 10-15 mins duration. What could be the potential source of the problem and potential cures?
