Smell from air vents?

[harvey94]

Hey guys!

Bit of a strange one here so hope someone can help, my car has a smell that i can only describe as musty/mouldy , you only smell it when you turn the dial to blow from the front air vents and the heater is on hot, it only comes from the front 2 vents and not from the sides! Air filter has been changed and cabin pollen filter is also new. There was a period of time that the car was not used but it was garaged and not left on the street.

Any ideas? i know its hard as its a smell! i 100% don't think its antifreeze!

Thanks for this! i don't think its the same smell but the charcoal filter is worth a go!

Since i can only smell this with heat setting up is it safe to assume i would smell it if the dial was pointing to windscreen if it was still set to hot? what i mean is for example if it was a leak then i would smell it whatever setting the the blower was at and not just front air vent?
