I’ve been wondering if Legionnaire’s bacteria reside in my car’s air conditioning system. Whenever I turn it on, a very sour dishcloth-like stench flows out.

I Googled the make and model of my car to see if others noticed this, and sure enough, there are.

My car is only 1 year old. According to Google, the smell comes from water that’s trapped in the a/c pipes. Took it to the dealer....they didn’t smell anything (of course not).

Same here. I’ve got a VW and have access to air return system before it passes over the coil by removing the cabin air filter. Figured it would not hurt to pull the cabin filter, turn on the ac to route the air over the coils and spray some Endbac or even Lysol into the system.
