Strong Fuel smell inside....urgent help needed!!!

[gor131-x]

right,got it vag commed and its the lambda sensor thats playing up,ordered a ne wone,should get it tomorrow,once fitted,ill check the fuel economy and also whether the juddering and hesitation under throttle has sorted itself out,im just worried the lean mixture might have damaged the cat!

I just wondered as you seem to be a competant mechanic with stuff you have done on your Passat!


Lean mixture shouldnt do any damage to the CAT.

i know,it doesnt even sound like me when im doing stuff to this golf! everything that ive learnt is from you guys on forums,i get earache off mum and dad for sitting on computer for hours on end reading stuff which looks like gibberish to them!

thanks for your patience on this thread,much appreciated,just waiting fo rthe lambda to be delivered,pulled out the old one and it was completely black and sooted up so hopefully this should sort things out

Black and sooted up eh? hmmmm you sure its not been burning a lot of oil? And running rich?

How can a lean mixture send a fuel smell into the car?

I have this smell in my car when it's warm and I have no leaks and the engine runs like a dream. I'm really interested in the solution to the feul smell if and when you find it, so good luck!

Check the crankcase breather hoses.

Thank you, that's only one though isn't it? AudiA8 says hoses plural??

[axewielder]
