Default Re: Damn/musty smell when the aircon starts

Check that the tube to drain condensation from the evaporator isn't blocked. Even without blockage, you end up with organic sludge building up from microbial growth. I treated mine buy setting the system to full fan, air-con off, recirculate, and emptied half a can of Glen-20 up under the dash. This has helped.
Try to turn the air-con off a few minutes prior to reaching your destination to allow condensate to dissipate.
If Fraud do an air-con clean for you, they will do much the same as above, using a fancy branded product, and charge you a few hundred dollars!
