Cabin filter I swapped out for a MANN filter so I could enable Air Care.
As for the smell, I would replace your cabin air filter. Your old one might have picked up moisture or some organic material. And if you get an option for it I would spend the few extra dollars and get a charcoal lined one. I should help with future smells.
In contract, I just bought a Mann filter for the cabin - and yes I know the difference between the engine and cabin filter - but the Mann did not have any such warning.
Engine/Cabin filter; DIY with mann filters, should be like $50 for both
I went with the Mann filter to get Polyphenol for mold and bacteria protection along with the carbon.
This Mann cabin air filter is probably the best one I’ve ever used. I could be behind a diesel truck and smell nothing but clean air.
Go on amazon and look for a Mann Frecious Plus filter, its as good as it gets
I switched over to Mann biofilter and had positive results esp w/ smells.
I really love the new filter I got. Its more expensive than OEM though. The thing about the new filter is it has both carbon and a polyphenol coating. I noticed that when my engine shuts down during start/stop that the air con doesnt have a wet dog smell anymore.
The second replacement filter was a Mann activated charcoal filter which does seem to help keep the interior smelling even fresher.
