Hey Guys!!! I'm a brand new 914 owner. I have been a car enthuisist for many years, but this is my first Porsche of any kind.
I already have a problem / question. I bought this car two weeks ago. Due to limited garage space, it was left parked in my driveway while the family and I went on vacation last week. When I returned home today, the entire interior is covered with mold and mildew, especially the carpet. I mean it was almost completely white with fuzzy mold. My neighbor told me it rained almost every day while I was gone,..but there is NO water in the car,..just mold and mildew. First,..is this a common issue with these cars? Second,..how can I best clean this mess up? |

Also just the fact that the humidity is so aggressive in the south.....aside from the old seals.....you're going to run into this - and especially after so much rain.
I also think the mold and mildew was there when you purchased the car. Some great info was provided here on how to address your problem. Welcome to the forum and keep us posted - pics are always appreciated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |
