For some reason when i turn the heat on in my S it smells like fish. But when i push the button with the air going out of the car it stops smelling..anyone have any clue as to why I am getting the smell..My car is pretty clean so I know its not anything to do with it being dirty..should i take it to the dealer?

Check and change your cabin air filter.
Klima-kleen works great in VAG vehicles to get rid of the "smelly feet" AC core.

It is recommended to change the cabin filter regularly.

is changing the cabin filter that important, i never have and don't know if the previous owner ever did. I don't have allergies and i've never noticed any odd oders, it's a 2002 w/74k miles.
