Hello everyone; this morning I got in the Jag and I noticed a very song musty smell. The cabin was not humid and none of the windows were fogged. It just had a strong smell of mold.

I turned the climate on auto and it cleared it once the air started to blow.

How could I fix this? Thanks!

 

Has your car got a pollen filter? If so change that, there are numerous air con disinfectant/sanitizing products down your local motor factors.

 

Jaguar answered all your questions more than a decade ago.
Read the TSBs in the 'stickies' section for more like this.
I know it is easier to just post a question if someone already knows the answer. Human Nature.

Just a guide and other remedies are available but here is the DEALER solution.
There are sprays on the market.

Well it seems to go away once the air starts in the morning. So I don't think it's the vents. I found out it only happens when it's cold and not in the afternoon. I checked every possible place and there are no dampness / leaks. It's been raining alot here and I don't have a garage so she sits outside. Does this has something to do with it?

I did notice some fogging in the Jag as well this morning.

 

And I don't think our 308's come with filters; do they?

 

JTIS Page 1769,


Air Distribution and Filtering,


Air is drawn through the four plenum apertures ( and particle filters where fitted ) and into the air conditioning unit.

 

As a general rule, North American XJ sedans did not come equipped with cabin filters. Some EARLY models might have been equipped but...............

TSB attached.

Check your trunk area for moisture too. Especially under the spare and near the battery.

Clogged sunroof drains will allow water to collect in the trunk and can "mustify" the entire interior.
