You do need the recirc to actually work as it keeps all the lovely gasses inside the car whilst it does its job .
Ok the problem as long as its not mice makeing a nest in the pollen filter or other places is a build up of bacteria on the outside of the A/C evapourator .. its like a radiator but inside the car .
In my pre Porsche days and back when i was young and keen i had a Rover in with a bad smell .. it WAS bad .. vomit like smell ..
I removed the evapourator and had it acid bathed .. stopped the smell all right .. these days i would just have used a bomb or replaced the evapourator.
Downside .. its a dash removal job to do that so not cheap.
Again i can offer to get an a/c bomb from work and set it off in your car whilst we have a coffee if it helps you keep the car ..
Ill see if i can fix the recirc .. if not ill use cardboard .
I do hate it when car faults results in a customer selling the car and moveing on to other makes .
