Has the odor issue in the 2020 Audi A4L been resolved?
2 Answers
2020 Audi A4L odor can be addressed through the following solutions: 1. Use absorbent charcoal in the car: Charcoal not only absorbs airborne impurities but also purifies air quality. There are professional car-specific absorbent charcoals available on the market. Simply place them in the corners of the car. This is more effective than traditional air fresheners. 2. Ventilate frequently and utilize sunlight when necessary: Often, odors result from prolonged enclosure. Open windows to let fresh air circulate whenever possible, or expose interior items to sunlight. Sunlight serves as a natural and free sterilizing agent. 3. Use fruit peels like pomelo or orange to eliminate odors: Develop a habit of storing fruit peels indoors after consumption. Fruit peels act as natural deodorizers, releasing pleasant acidic fragrances. Place them both in the front and rear of the car, replacing every 3-5 days.
When I first got my 2020 A4L, there was indeed some new car smell, but it wasn't as pungent as older Audi models. I specifically checked - this generation uses eco-friendly adhesives and low-VOC materials. After airing it out in the sun for two weeks, the odor was basically gone. However, some owners reported the soundproofing layer under the carpet might emit odors in humid weather. They recommended installing moisture-proof mats. If this happens, you can get the soundproofing cotton replaced for free at the dealership - they've become quite experienced handling such issues now.
