Audi line dealer service departments have a spray that "de-funky-fies" the A/C
duct-work. The spray can has a long hollow wand so they can reach deep into
the ducts via the vents and hose them down.

After that, whenever you use the A/C, a few minutes before you park the car
turn off the compressor (ie: press the Economy button), make sure you're
pulling fresh air into the car (ie: Recirc button *not* pressed) and turn the
fans up full blast.

That will dry out the expansion coils, helping to avoid creating a
bacteria-friendly environment in the coil.

And don't smoke in the car!

Umm... no. It is not that simple. The fungus grows elsewhere, so replacing
just the filter won't make the smell go away. daytripper gave good advice.
