just thought i would let everyone know of a possible fault with high mileage cdti's
we have had several incidents of reported exhaust smells in cabin, we have traced this to cracked exhaust manifolds this can be quite difficult to see but with a mirror you can see a soot mark on the back of the cylinder head on removal of the manifold heatshield one or several cracks can be seen
tends to occur with accords that have done approx 75k miles plus
may be worth checking as normal warrenty expires at 90k and can be a costly repair!!
[edit Honda have extended the warranty on this fault so if it occurs to you may well be worth checking with the dealer]
