Beautiful South Martin 24 Posted March 12, 2019 Just sold a customer an A3 2.0 TDi and he is complaining of a strong smell inside the car especially when starting from cold, not a smell of diesel as such but more gasses. Booked in tomorrow for inspection at my local indy just wondering if anyone had anything similar so I can point him in the right direction......Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That kind of rules out injector seals, check egr and exhaust system inc flexi. Start up from cold with head under bonnet will tell you more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stalker 180 Posted March 13, 2019 Could be injector seals, but on the PD engine they lie inside rocker cover and the fumes should go back into the inlet manifold.... Could have a split breather? Injector seals on a PD engine give running faults too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
