My 993 , ( 1995) has just developed a rotten egg smell It seems to come form mid car, and is strong when garaged. Might this be the cats that are cooked or the battery regulator, or the battery that is kaput?
 
Have you by any chance been driving through France with your windows down? :?:
 
Got AC and not used it for some time? Could be mildew that forms on the evaporator core. You need to put one of those smoke bombs in and recycle the air to get rid. And then keep you AC on ideally all the time

AC was actually regassed a month ago, and is always used all of the the time

That could still be your problem if the smell is coming through the vents. Any damp at all under the carpet/sound foam?

Have you done the 'sniff test' on the battery regulator and cat :dont know:
 
Smell not coming through vents, but seems to be around the centre of the car. Not a strong whiff under the bonnet either
 
Any skid marks on a rear seat :dont know:

Have you checked under the carpets - damp/mold/dead animal :?:
 
....... mine just smells of leather, hot oil and a dash of Shell V Power ........ :)

Apart from that ....... reckon it has to be the air-con ....... I have read of similar problems with other "lesser" cars ...... :)

Could just be you screen wash. That can smell rotten if left for long periods.
