Yes the Lidl stuff works quite well. I bought some last week at £1.49 a can. Buy a couple of cans as if it is seriously smelly they say you may need to do a repeat treatment.

Have you changed the pollen filter yet had the same problem it cured mine.

I used a deoderising spray, worked well for 2 weeks to cover the smell, but then back to smelly car.

Had a proper air con service done, where they treat your system and all is good again now.

I had the same problem. A horrible "eggy" smell whenever I drove the car. Very embarrassing when you have passengers!!

To cure it on mine I changed the pollen filter and used the CarPlan Kleen Air Air Conditioning Cleaner product. You basically turn the aircon on recirculate at full power, put it in the footwell of the car and set it off spraying and then leave it for ten minutes to do it's job. Cost about £6 off ebay. Smell disappeared the next time I drove the car and not returned after 6 weeks.
