Petrol smell in the cabin
« on: 06 February 2025, 22:27 »
Occasionally getting a petrol smell in the cabin, usually when stopped for a short while and then restarted when warm, disappears after a minute or so. Garage that I usually use can’t find an issue. Zero sign of a leak and MPG fine. Any thoughts?

This thread might help. Fuel pump seems to be an issue - https://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=280196.0

Thanks, I’ll check the HPFP.

Not sure if it's the same as my MK6, but I had the same issue and it turned out
to be a slight leak from the petrol filter which was situated slightly behind
the drivers side rear wheel.

I had this issue on my 2012 Mk6 GTI at age 5.   Dummy me thought it was down to different Petrol on last fill.  Dealership found leaking hpfp(!) at Service / MOT time.  All work covered under extended VWWarranty.

Thanks for the replies, after taking the covers off and running the engine the HPFP is bone dry - suspecting injector(s)?
