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? |

Dry it out & clean it up. Carpet cleaner. Vacuum cleaner. Wipe down all the vinyl. Rag with warm water. Elbow grease. Are the forward engine wells full of water? |

Are the forward engine wells full of water? I cant see any standing water in the engine area. What else could have caused this? It seems to be worse toward the front of the car,...on the toe board area. |
