Petrol smell when starting already hot engine
« on: 19 April 2020, 11:17 »
I have a November 2017 GTI Performance with 15,000 miles.
When starting car no issues but if I leave it after driving for any amount of time and restart it there is a very strong smell of petrol.
Car has been in to be checked under warranty but dealer could not find a fault which still persists.
Planning to go back to another dealer for recheck but wondering if you have any thoughts or suggested solutions I can throw at them.
Ironically this only began after the car had been serviced although I appreciate this may only be a coincidence.
