Hi all
I've got a 2010 2.2 iDtech with £113k.
It pulls well and sounds good I think (first Honda for me!)
I've noticed an exhaust smell via the cabin air vents when stationary, made worse by applying some revs. It is not noticeable when on the move.
I've ***umed it is coming from the engine bay and being sucked through the air con?
With engine on and throttle applied, it gives a strong exhaust smell in the area indicated on the image. I've leaned from the driver side and smelled around the rear of the engine block nearest to the brake fluid reservoir and can't smell anything there. It does seem to be from the passenger door end of the engine block.
Any ideas what could cause it?
Thanks
