yeah ive got that problem and so has a lot of other people... from memory its bacteria build up in the air conditioning, and there is a product available that kills it.

I'm not sure what its called though, maybe halfords stock it.

Just conacted peugeot
car is booked in on Sat to be looked at.
They said that it is likely to be a bacteria build up and that they dont know of any product that can solve the build up, only that you try to run your AC for about 10min per week.
All the work will be covered by peugeot.
I will let you know if i have any problems.

Try these guys:

IIRC they spray some sort of antibacterial stuff in when they do an aircon service. Bear in mind that the Pug dealer probably doesn't do aircon servicing themselves, but subs it out to someone like autoclimate. Better to go direct, IMHO.

All three cars ive used with air con have suffered the smell problem, but only after being used ... then it goes away ??
