Dead body under the bonnet.
Could perhaps be the fact that it hasn't been used for a while and the coolant which works the aircon may be full up of oderous smells picked up over the winter months.
To be truthful, I haven't a clue but it sounds good doesn't it?

Yep, it's bacteria and crap that has grown in your air con system. If you pop along to your local car accessory shop you will be able to buy stuff to clean the system.
I know comma make a product that comes in a can. You simply turn the air con on and hit the recirculation button on the dash. Open the can and let it do its stuff , but make sure you are not in the car or your lungs will get the same treatment
. Hay presto..job done.
I have yet to try it but I’ve seen a few posts about this stuff and it’s supposed to be good.
Hope this helps.

If the spray can doesn't work, replace your pollen filter as this is where the bacteria live. Just make sure you re-fit the pollen filter cover properly after doing this, as it's a favourite place for leaks to start.
This is why you need to run your air con for at least an hour a week to keep the crap from building up as it is actually dangerous to your health some of the nasties that breed in there

I used that Comma stuff. Worked a treat, think it was about £12-ish from Halfords.
Just don't put the can too close upholstry because it soaks it!

air-con should be used at least once a week for 10mins minimum so that it gets a good use; also it is know the legionnaires can be harboured if not used/cleaned on a regular basis.
It also stated in your manual; at least it was in my pug and just carried that forward.

I heard that its good after having the aircon on for a while to turn the heat up to maximum for a few minutes to dry out anything that may condense in the pipes?
Yep, good idea to keep it running now again, I bought a 306 TDS with air con. The guy who had it before me hardly ran the car, and thought using the air con would "eat up the diesel". Turned out he needed a new compressor, condensor, hard pipes cos the fluid had sat stagnant for so long and knackered the pump etc. Ended up being a false ecomomy for him in the end. Meant i got a practically new air con system when i bought it off him though 
Mine is about to have a service and the Seat Guys recon leaving the aircon in Auto all year round is very good for the air con as the pump will cut in and out to regulate the temp but will keep the system working well. I guess the guy before me didn't as we think there is no gas in the system £80 for re gas until warenty is up
