Hi Everyone,
I have been trying to track down an issue in my sadly seldom driven 560 SEC.
I am noticing an exhaust fume smell in the car, it is worst when driving with the sunroof open, although slightly noticeable with the windows open. Strangely enough with the windows and sunroof closed, ventilation or A/C on, there is no problem.
The exhaust system has largely been replaced (with exception of the down pipes) with Mercedes OEM parts (old system was rusty and blowing). Initially I thought the down pipes and / or manifold would be leaking, however there is no exhaust leaking into the engine bay and no oil leaks onto the hot manifold.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Nick
