Possibly you have cooties growing in your HVAC system.

Get a replacement for the cabin air filter, and a can of spray air
cleaner/deodorizer. Make sure the HVAC system is set to fresh air intake (ie:
not recirc mode) with all vents selected (top, middle, floor), open all the
windows, remove the old cabin air filter, turn the fan on full, then blast
some of the air cleaner down the cabin air intake. Then install the new
filter...

I have a 2001 S4. There is a strange, "Musty", "Church-like" smell in my car whenver it's been sitting through a rain storm. Once I turn the car on, the smell goes away. What does this mean? Thanks, Joe
