When I have the air on "in-cabin only" (reticulation), it seems I'm still getting the smells from outside while driving. The filter was changed recently.

Do I need to switch anything else on or off ?

Any ideas.

I wish it was that simple.

I try and ensure there is never anyone in front of me. Unless I mount a couple of old M60's, that will never be the case.

Yes, there were 2 changed (pollen filters ?).

I'm just assuming somehow the vents are not off when I chose to have internal cabin air only. Is that possible ?

The foam seals tend to break down and get blown out through the vents, so it might not be airtight.

Might be worth finding a clear road and just testing that the smell isn't there in either fresh or recirc modes, as it may be coming from elsewhere, eg crud on the A/C unit.

I'll try that. And my apologies for the use of the reticulation (??). No idea where that came from.

Thanks

There is an air-con spray that you can buy. This spray kills all the bacteria spores that accumulates on an in your air-con system over time. Sometimes you can tell if you have an "greasy, oily, foggy" front windscreen, which are the bacteria growing!!!.
What you do is go for a drive and get the air-con going on the coldest setting, while the air-con is still going spray the stuff in the intake of the air-con "vents where the wipers are". Use about half a can and should be right.

Behind the one you found. Take out that one, look behind it and pull the tab to bring it forward then down. This is a famous question often answered, in case you want to search for more complete explanations or pictures.
