Hi All,
Lately there has been a petrol like smell in the cabin. I sort of worked out if I give the car a bit of a flogging (and trust me, my boy racer days are well past me so my version of a flogging is pretty tame) the smell appears and hangs around for a couple of days. The smell gives me a headache after a while too.
I thought it may have been the air con, ya know gunk in the vents, etc. If I run the air it doesn't seem to get any worse. If I close the vents it still hangs around and gets worse. It smells like unburnt petrol, like when it's vaporizing on a hot object. Checked under the hood and the smell doesn't seem to be coming from there. Haven't had a chance (maybe tomorrow) to get under it to check for leaks yet.
Has anyone had this issue?
Does anyone have any theories?
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Marz.
P.S. Oh, yer it's a 2005 Exec Wagon, no mods done to the intake or exhaust (yet!), oh sorry lied, has a VY HSV airbox.
