My dad has just informed me that his 2004 (54) 1.3 MJet Doblo has developed this smell.
Just arrived home from holls, towing a small trailler tent / camper and the vehicle is allowing exhaust gasses into the cabin. The engine is also producing a rattling sound, similar to 'Bad' tappets.
Looking within the engine bay, it is clear that exhaust gases are visible and appears to be coming from the air cleaner box and close to the EGR valve.
My own personal thoughts are that this is an EGR problem, although he has not complained about any loss of power (unreliable as he doesnt drive progressively at all), nor are there any warning lights displayed.
Car was purchased new and is anually serviced, and has only 43,000 miles, only does short journeys etc. Oh one last thing, he uses super-market fuel.
Any thoughts guys ?
Cheers
David
