Recently after pulling up there was been this smell come through the car via the vents, and you can smell it when you get out, i was told i could have been the injectors, does anyone have anymore information in regards to this, a possible cause or solution???

Is it infact the injectors???

A fuel smell could be the result of leaking injectors.

Just take a look around the hoses?

Have a look around the injectors and see if theres a redish stain, if there is they are leaking..;)

what kind of smell is it? it could be one of many things. An eggy kind of smell could be the cat. A burning kind of smell could be the transmission or brakes. There are more things that can make funny smells, I fitted 2nd hand extractors on my old torana and they smelled for ages.

Its the Eggy sort of smell, when you pull up, stinks like holly hell, you can smell in and outside the car, i was told it could have something to do with the injectors, and its def not the burning smell
