Getting Fumes in my car - Wirral-Wikiwirral

i have have noticed that i have been getting a lot of fumes in our car latley and i was just wondering if any one can help?

Wind your window up tony!! depending on what sort of fumes your talking about check your fuel tank hasn't got a small leak anywhere?

could be a number of things, like leaks, plastic bag/air intake/other plastic etc melting on the exhaust manifold.

Unfortunatly old engines do tend to smell a bit at times.

i should of said that it was coming from the exhust them type of fumes <img border="0" alt="

maybe the cat is on its way out???

You checked the exhaust for a hole? I doubt you'd hear it blowing with that monstrosity of a backbox

Anyway, if you've gotta blowing exhaust and rusty footwells you'll end up with fumes in the car

Check the oil breather pipes to the air filter and carb, common for them to split. I Get fumes in the car from my oil breather as it gets sucked in through the vents, failing that drop round and i'll take a look.

Is it using more petrol that usual? And I'm not saying you might have a petrol leak, there's usually something wrong with the carb, I've had that before.

That would be the Breather pipes under the bonnet that Tony has disconected to fit a Performance air filter and just left the pipe hanging there

I think that could be the fumes ??
