Hi all I own a 2001 octavia diesel having trouble with fumes at the vents, just had the exhaust flexi pipe replaced which was split, but still gettin fumes anyone had same problem or maybe could point in direction where the fumes may be coming from? Really thought replacing that pipe would of fixed the problem any advice would be much appreciated

Any one no if the egr valve being blanked off, if that would make it fumey around the engine bay?

Thanx need to get round to having a look must have a exhaust leak somewhere does get smokey around the engine bay on idle

Thanx all for the advice gave me heads up on few pointers on what to check, i looked under the bonnet tonight seemed to get a smell of exhaust fumes around the engine bay so might point to a leak on the exhaust somewhere

Thanx mac11irl I'll have a look into that

Hi all this is my first post on the forum, just looking for bit of advice with regards to my diesel octavia, when running on idle it seems to be picking fumes up through the vents? Once on the move its fine I've had it checked at the garage and no exhaust leaks have been found, any advice would be much appreciated if any one else has experienced this and of any known cause many thanks Rich
