Does anyone know how to get rid of the stinky pi$$ like smell coming from air con/air vents?
Ive tried emptying a can of anti bacterial air freshner which stops it for a few days, but the stinky pi$$ comes back!

This one is easy
You need to get your aircon serviced, that smell is bacteria in your system, it needs to be regassed as they remove the gas thats in there, leave it as a vaccum for around 10-15 mins then regas the system, this will cure your problem

Had system sericed last month, watch the guy do it too, held vacuum and tested the system for leaks, could the prolem lay in the air feed pipes?

Did a cat do SOMETHING (like **** over it).
I recently saw a cat laying on the hood of my 98 impreza right behind the scoop.
I had come back from a drive so i think he made himself comfy on the bonnet.
