Drive yr car until hot. Park up on driveway or at yr house. Leave engine running. Open windows a tad.

Switch on CC (or Aircon) to max blow and max heat.

Stand around for 5 mins. Switch aircon etc off.

Problem should disappear

I ran the car as above, but for 20 minutes, (as per an Audi dealer), and the mildew smell still exists.
