When I cleared mine first time it got blocked very soon again. Second time I cleaned and washed pipes thoroughly finishing with Dettol ant mould and mildew cleaner to kill any bacteria and fungus in there. Finally sprayed air intake with http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Comma-Air-...#ht_1528wt_905 to kill them in rest of a HVAC unit.It has been 2 years since that and no problems.

Guy, I had the same issues with my '98 S8. Took some time, but got sorted in the end. Where abouts are you?
