WES180 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Split breather pipe or blowing exhaust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trebor11 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Sorry would that be a split exhaust breather pipe or something different ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Sorry would that be a split exhaust breather pipe or something different ? Breather pipe off the engine that carries fumes. Usually called a crankcase breather pipe. Just check all pipes for splits. My wifes Punto had 2 split until they redesigned the pipe to a silicone one which has now been on for years. That flooded the cabin with exhaust fume smells when it split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Check the breather pipe that runs from the cam cover to the large intake pipe. It should have a plastic clip either side and a rubber seal inside the cam cover end, these often become loose/broken and let a hot oil smell into the car as Wez says. If it's definitely exhaust then check for exhaust leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 could also be the injector seals, or the EGR (if fitted) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Hi I had the same problem as you the best thing to do is start the engine open the bonnet first and have a smell round the turbo for fumes you might laugh at this but that is what I had a small split at the bottom off pipe fitter a new one been ok Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I had this on my Focus diesel. It ended up being leakly injector seals and leak off pipes, leaking fuel onto the manifold. If its a diesel, hold you hand aboe each injector. If its leaky you should feel a puff of air onto the palm of your hand, on each injector cycle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcor Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Bit late to the party but a cracked EGR cooler will make the cabin really smell of exhaust fumes it did on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Did you get your car stored out would like to know what it was Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trebor11 Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 My No 3 injector failed when I had an injector test done. I,ve had that changed now and my EGR blanked off and the smell of fumes has gone when in motion its just when I,m stationery now or stopped at junctions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I have the same a smell in the car and wonder if it's just the injector seals but I don't know for definite. I will take it to my local indie some point and let len loose on it lol Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trebor11 Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hi mate someone said about the breather pipe from the rocker cover to the main air intake. I've checked mine and it doesn't feel that secure plus I changed the air filter on the weekend and there was oil in and around the MAF and air filter and again someone said it could be coming from this breather pipe. I had a few issues after changing the air filter with it being hesitant and rough idle so I sprayed the MAF with electrical cleaner and it runs a lot better. Going to change the breather pipe next pay day see if that solves the fumes in the car when stationery....will try to let you know how I get on with it..hope that helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
