2002 Volkswagen Beetle New review from North America
"Great car except for the odor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is an odor of stagnant water. This is the exact smell you get from a bio-film that develops in compressor air lines or in water lines where there is stagnation. It comes through the air vents and is not from the carpet or mats.
