- W212 E250 (petrol) 2013
Hi all,
W212 Facelift 2.0 E250 SE, 2013, 45k
For a week I've noticed a strong smell of petrol with a cold-start (first thing in the morning). The smell is coming from the engine bay. If I'm inside the cabin with the heater fan off, I can't smell the petrol, if the heater fan is on, I can smell the petrol.
The smell disappears after about 2 mins of driving and doesn't return until the next cold start (next day in the morning).
I can't see any visible signs of a leak under the car, and even if it was a leak, surely the smell of petrol would be constant?
Any idea's?
Thank you
