One of the exhaust gaskets leaking?

thanks have to get it checked

remove engine cover and check the injectors for leakage/fumes

Can't remember but on Mondeo which s max is based on, on 1 engine there was a tsb about exhaust fumes.

Apparently a bracket on exhaust where it joints turbo needed modifying and adjusting

Should a customer express concern about exhaust gas smell inside of passenger cabin when the engine is running in idle and the vehicle is in stationary position, the probable cause is a misalignment of the catalytic converter to the turbocharger.

This happened on my 1.6 Tdci focus before Xmas.

The fumes smelt like un-burnt fuel rather than exhaust.

Traced the cause to a leaking injector (copper washer had split)

Cost of the washer was 10p

Cost of complete repair by garage was £80

(Reduced) smell sting hanging around

HTH

remove engine cover and check the injectors for leakage/fumes

took it to my local garage and its a little copper washer under the injector hes going to do it tomorrow job done thankyou"

That's good, it is usually that that stinks.
