smell

Has anyone got any experience of an intermittent smell of fuel after driving for some time. I get a very strong smell, but can’t see where its coming from? This is normally after the engine is warmed up and has been driven for at least an hr or so? Im wondering if its the injector O-rings which...

When idling I can smell exhaust fumes in the cabin goes away with the recirc button and when moving. Checked the exhaust at the rear no leaks or soot deposits on the egr pipe, turbo to cat, manifold inlet pipes to turbo. It's quite choking! Changed the charcoal cabin filter and it blocked the...

Hi guys, I have a 2003 E220 Elegance. I managed to diagnose a leaking injector seal (aka the black death) and got it replaced and cleaned up at Cambridge Injectors (Stuart was brilliant - would recommend). However it still has the horrible coal like smell inside when I have the blowers on...

My seven year old Mercedes E350cdi has developed an odd problem where there is a smell of diesel fuel in the car when the engine is running and the car is stopped. Truth be told it smells more of exhaust/diesel fumes. Now when the car is moving the smell vanishes but when stopped at the lights...

I recently noticed a very faint hot metal smell at speed, say over 90mph - on private roads, naturally ... :crazy: Is it ball bearings? - I had OSF replaced a few month ago. I also think it is when the S mode is selected, although I haven't driven in C mode for a while, other than in town...

Hi, I have a 2008 CLS 500 (5.5 M273 engine), a while back I had a hot oil smell every time I drove it, turns out it was the cam blanking plug on the right hand bank, changed that and the strong oil smell went away. Apart from occasionally I get a similar smell, but not as strong when its been...

No jokes about excess friction please :p (this means you Paul) So, on exiting the car (S212) there is a distinct smell of burning rubber from the rear O/S tyre area. Doesn't seem to matter if I've driven 10 miles or 100. Been under and over everything and can find nothing hot or rubbing...

Hi All, I have the e220 W124 coupe with the M111 engine. The other day I noticed a very strong petrol smell in the cabin whenever I accelerated hard. I initially put it down to an outside smell, however, noticed over the next couple of journeys that wherever I was, as soon as I got in the...

With no prior warning, at the end of a 400 mile journey my E280 CDI was hissing loudly from the rear and smelling of cabbages. The hissing (and smell) persisted for some minutes after switching the engine off. Is this the catalytic converter? Or something else? Thanks for any thoughts.

So had the exhaust checked and nothing wrong with it and the smell has vanished... until today I put the a/c into the windscreen de-mist function and the rotten egg smell was back instantly. Could it be something up with the a/c or heater? Any help much appreciatd

After a long search, I found this article (http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/engine/96013-three-years-rough-idle-sl320-r129-v6-m112.html) which describes the symptoms of my car: - vibrating at idle when engine is warm - fuel smell in exhaust - some loss of power at low refs (not sure of this...

<< that car. Nearside rear wheel area smells of rubber after a short run and parked up. It is not always there, just around every other trip. Tyre and brake disc appear to be cool, nothing touching tyre. Parking brake works just fine, though does seem to not 'always' release on first...

Hello there, right, I have another issue with my old 124 /-: Every so often, since a couple of months ago, I get a smell of burning oil in the car. It appears suddenly and then it's gone again. The oil level is not dropping faster then would be expected with an engine that's done over 100k so...

Hi Everyone, Looking for your collective thoughts and experience on a recent issue..... been driving the car this week as per usual and have noticed when I shut the engine down after a normal journey, I get a strong petrol smell coming from the back of the car - drivers side.....I've let the...

Hey. I keep getting an oily whiff in the cabin of my car. C55 AMG W203. Not always, but enough to warrant me putting an air freshener in. Is this normal for these? It runs fine, no unusual noises or knocking, and no sign of leaks on my drive. Am I just being paranoid? Not overly bothered if its...

Hello guys. I recently smell diesel coming from my engine. I take out the engine cover and I saw dropping some diesel from this pipe. What can I do with this part because I can't change it for the moment. It is a serious trouble or it is not? Thank you.
