Exhaust Smell in Cabin...

[Obsidian]

Hi, Has anyone experienced exhaust fumes coming into the cabin? It happens in my car with the heat on or off...
Thanks:confused:

That doesn't sound good, I would certainly have that checked by your dealership or mechanic as soon as you can, and please let us know what the cause is.

"Heat on or off"? What do you think this is, a Porsche? How about top up or down?

First, check to make sure the runk lid is closed and latched. I have found that the trunk lid on the Z8 doesn't protrude much when it is sittin on the seals but not latched. There's a lot of turbulence at the rear of the car and exhaust fumes fan travel up and inot the trunk cavity if the lid isn't latched down. I believe that cabin air exhausts into the trunk when the top is up. When the top is down, air flowing over the windshield creates a low pressure zone in the cockpit and could draw air from the trunk backwards into the cockpit (especially if the side windows are up). This could save you from an embarassing Brainless Merely Wealthy moment at the dealer.

the only other thing that could give you exhaust fumes would be a hole or crack in the exhaust system under that car.
