Hi All,
Over the last week or so during commuting (heavy-ish traffic and cold weather) I’ve noticed a slight smell of fumes in the cabin of my 850 T5 leading to a moderate headache / light headed feeling on one occasion.
I’m going to investigate in daylight tomorrow but wondered if anyone else has experienced this or has any pointers? Car is performing normally, doesn’t smell overly rich, no warning lights illuminated so I’m thinking perhaps fuel tank breather blocked, maybe exhaust leak in engine bay contaminating heater air intake? Missing pollen filter maybe? I changed all the PCV gubbins not too long ago so that should be fine unless something is dislodged.
The tailgate and doors all seem to seal ok, fresh air vents don’t seem contaminated...? I’ll block the tailpipe temporarily with a rag tomorrow and see if I can see any exhaust leaks to start with I suppose.
Any pointers appreciated before the thirsty old girl tries to poison me?
Cheers
Stu
