Question Interior smell

Does anyone have a odd smell from the interior? I'm thinking that it may be the leather causing this, has anyone had this problem, cleaned their leather and not noticed the smell anymore? There has been no foreign substances to cause this smell inside the car either.

Have you changed out the cabin air filter yet (B2 service)?

If not, you may be getting the smell of mold or decayed vegetable matter (leaves, etc.) from the other side of the cabin filter.

Reccomendation to replace the cabin air filter is 30k my TL has about 14k on it and we dont really drive in areas that have high concentrations of soot from industry or diesel powered vehicles.
