Hello and welcome to the forum, these things are not my cup of tea, are you sure that they are exhaust fumes and not oil fumes from the breather

 

[allstars]

i thought they were oil fumes the first time i was in it,but today on a long trip,i really go tired,which is why im concerned,i was wondering if there was a common fault,cheers

The only thing listed is the dust shields around the doors and A pillar there is a mod seal now for that now.

I do not know if this would fix it for as you say it is nearly alway drawn in from the rear drag.

Other than this all I can think of is that you check all of the door seals

Sorry thats the best that I can do

 

[allstars]

thats fine cheers for help, will have a look at the seals as you said,and will double check the tailgate seals are good..,.....at beginning you said are they the oil breather fumes,could this be a problem?? as i said it did seem like oil fumes when first in vehicle,just want to try all options..cheeers

Hi Allstars.
Just read your query.
I once owned a Citroen car and the tailgate did not quite close properly.
Resulted in what you are experiencing.
Get someone to help you, either drive the vehicle for a short distance whilst someone in the back checks the seal of the doors (but not for too long as you may gas them to death) or better still...... YOU get in the back of the van whilst your assistant directs a steady stream of water around the areas where the doors close. Ingress of water is obviously where your problem is.
Sort it as soon as, or it may start to affect your health.
Bren.

Hi
Is the vaneo based on the A class?
If yes then the A class is known for petrol smells.
Check the flexible petrol hoses.
What year is the Vaneo?

 

[allstars]

yeah it looks like the A Class at front and the year is 03,also its the diesel model,
