smelly

Hi, My megane has started to smell when the blower is on and I am stationary. Today I have noticed exhaust fumes when I accelerate from stopped and when turning corners. The heat shield behind the turbo is sooty. Is this normal or does this indicate a problem. Thanks in advance.

Hi, my name is Brian. New to all this, but thought i would give it a try. Hopefully somebody knows the answer to the following. My megane came up with the message "rejuvenate soil filter" and since then it has smelt really bad of diesel fumes.... any ideas Thanx

Hi, was just wondering - my Clio (51 plate 1.2 Dymanique) is making a real rotten-egg kind of smell when I start it up - I think it's worse when it's been stood for a while. I walk a lot more now with the petrol prices, so it often goes a few days without use. I've heard it could be to do with...

Just wondering whether anyone has got any advice - sorry but I'm useless with motors..... We've just bought a 98 Laguna I 2.0 RTi. It's got a FSH, and has obviously been well looked after. However we've noticed a strong smell of petrol when it's idling and pulling away. The engine...

I've an 05 Renault Megane which has started to smell really badly. The smell seems to be worse when you are running the air con taking air from outside (i.e. not recirc mode).

I have a 1.5 80bhp Dci Clio bought new. at around 12 months old it started to smell strongly of diesel when started first thing in the morning. Back it went to the dealers. The pipe between the filler and tank is leaking says they. New pipe fitted under warranty. Some mornings is worse than...
