#1: Smell of fumes in the car! Help please! Author: Petejel05, Posted: Wed Aug 14, 2013 2:18 pm ---- Hi, I have a 2003 1.4 HDI and have recently noticed a smell of fumes in the car. When I turn the heaters off or alter the air circulation the smell goes away... I have had the full exhaust replaced but still no difference...anyone experienced this problem before? Any help would be appreciated...Cheers, Pete

Have you notice fuel consumption drop recently?
Do you notice the smell is stronger when the engine is cold or hot?
If you've had the exhaust replaced, especially the manifold, then it can't be that. Generally if it is occuring on a cold startup it is nothing to worry about, as it is usually the automatic choke, or in the 206s case, the engine ECU injecting inital fuel through its pipes.

Check the engine for both. Injector leaking out round the seals into hard black carbonnis by far more common
