fumes from the engine

Post by **billymaya** » 01 Mar 2007, 10:25

just a question really ive been driving the t25 around for a while no probs fitted a original t25 bench seat mounted in front and on top of engine bay, my girlfriend sat back there yesterday as i was driving along and she said she could smell the engine,now is that just because thats the nature of the beast i mean if you got a engine in the back with just a cover over it its gonna smell a bit when warm? or do i need to have a look at it? it has had a brand new exhaust system put in before i brought it any help? please ta

i would say its prob just down to age and nature of vehicle. aslong as its not really strong, im sure its fine.

We had a new exhaust system fitted a few weeks ago and it does pong a bit and probably will do until all of the stickers and such like are heated off.

ok checked me seal around engine lid and its all in tact i dont suppose that it could be a back draft and the exhaust fumes and coming thru the drivers side outer sill panel? as i currently have a hole there its for if i ever get stuck in a flood i can stick the oar out and paddle to the other side
