maslin4863 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hi, I am a newbie to the Forums (please be gentle), I have recently bought a 2000 Mondeo Ghia X Auto with 78,000 on the clock. Although it came with a FSH i took it to a local garage for a full service as i have bad luck with cars and was told i had a slight leak on the IACV which i got replaced. My question is since owning the car when idling i can always smell what seems to be a strong petrol smell from the exhaust emissions whilst idling and i was wondering if this can be normal? When the car was serviced and the IACV fault discovered they said my emissions were high (when tested failed the 2 out of 3) I assumed that the petrol smell from the exhaust would dissappear once this was repaired?

mintalkin Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 rich fuel mixes are usually caused by a lambada sensor playing up. if you can get the garage to do a voltage check on your sensors to see if one has gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
