Overwhelming Petrol/Exhaust Fumes

Post by Kal »

Hi All,

When driving the 2400 Coupe, I end up having to put the windows down as I start to taste the colour purple due to the intense smell of exhaust fumes/petrol. If I put anything in the boot, it carries an exhaust smell around for days.

Anyone else suffered from this, and what was the fix?

I think its better to ask who is not experiencing this :-) Even if I am driving just 10 minutes, you can tell by the smell which car I drove. Its different on my two Coupe's, so its not naturally given and there are possibilities to improve.

You can try to ensure the seals at the trunk and in the rear lights are in good shape, as often the exhaust fumes come in from the rear end. Also check that the 3in1 are not blowing through.
