*sniff sniff*......I can smell petrol!!

[Omar]

.........yeah when I'm at the traffic lights or stuck in traffic. Maybe its just vapour from when they fixed it??

Have only done 10m since it was at the garage, do you reckon it'll be worth giving it a good run today to get rid of whats there??

I dont know - I really dont go beyond checking oil, brake and water levels - pathetic I know.

BTW - office is at the bottom of the high street, near George abbot and White house pubs.

mine does that sometimes if i've been gunning it, my old car did too.. so i just ignore it  lol

There shouldn't be a strong smell of petrol at all. Does the car run alright?

[Overseer]

its not really that strong.. and it goes vrooom

[golfvr6]

The vapour would have gone ages ago, start the engine, there should be no petrol smells coming from under the bonnet.

BlackGti - that makes me feel really good about it thanks.

Soz... the Stella musta went to my head.

[Omar]

..........damn, I think its exhaust fumes you know.

Nay mind, its goes into the garage on Friday - will let you know what happens if youre still interested

I have the same fumes smell in my cabin; found the cause today.
Check the breather pipe that comes from the top of the rocker cover diagonally down to the engine block. If it has a split down the seam, the fumes will be coming into the cabin from there.
It is not obvious visually, you need to check it by hand.

[Omar]

...thanks for the input.

[Omar]

.......it was exactly what 'Onge' suggested!! The boys sorted it for 30squid.


.........smell that??...........no?.............neither can I!! its all good again.

Cheer fellas and soz for boring everyone with this drawn out saga
