General strange smell

[jackmr punto]

i have noticed that there is a gas smeel in my car when i use the heaters, at first i just thought it was something outside anyone no what it could be

have you fitted an induction kit?

 

[jackmr punto]

nope all standard, but recently changed the filter for new one, but sure the smell was before that aswell

check for leaky rocker cover
fuel leaks
poor fitting air filter housing
oil leaks
also check the crankcase breather pipe is whole and connected fully

[custard]

smelolingl

even in the middle of words lollage at its finest

And as for the smell...it might be one of them stinks that when you smell something too you mistake it for something else?? does that make sense lol

And if your exhaust sounds a bit iffy... i would also check the manifold and start working backwards.

Leak in the heater matrix, as you said its mainly there when you use the heaters? thats my bet anyway
