When turning on vent or AC, a smell similar to stinky shoes fills the cabin for approx. 15 seconds on my 04 V70.. any thoughts? Wife is pregnant and P.O.'d...

 

Hello, It's time to change your cabin air filter. There are two which fit your holder. Use the correct one for your system. Basic filter for the basic AC and a thicker filter for the EAQS (or some such acronym) or fancy system. Never install both. There is a notation on the recirculation switch to denote the premium system. Post back on this thread and report the improvement. They're easy to change. Take note of which side the slightly angled edge is on when removing (the filter is not a perfect rectangle). Kira

 

Double check there isn't any water under your removable mats.
