i can smell the petrol or exhaust fumes in my car. Gonna die from breathing it everyday. It's worst when i high rev and drag the car. Anyone got any clue? Undercarriage concealing not good anymore, or the aircon or it's the exhaust pipe? Comments are very welcome!

i have the same prob with my car too. let's hear it from the experts.

If it's petrol smell it may be the fuel pump leaking that requires urgent attention (fuel pump leak and oil patch can be seen from undercarriage near fuel tank) as it is flammable especially when parked near dry grass/burning incense, etc.

If it's vehicle exhaust smell, check that aircon vent are closed and seek an experienced audio/aircon shop to check that the vents are tight.

Urgent attention needed

hey Mach! Anywhere or anyone to recommend? My undercarriage very holey also. The smell is worst when i high rev. Could it be my injector injecting too much petrol and the engine cannot burn? Cuz i have a blowoff valve and my car is not tuned. So my engine running rich on petrol. I ready don know. More advice!

Start your engine and open the bonnet..The smell may likely comes from the leaking pipes at your fuel regulator area or injectors

sorry, i'm not familar with tuned cars maybe you shld go back to your regular mechanic which altered your set up.

i used to have the same prob last time in my eg8, in the end found the injector o-ring worn off. after replaced o ring, no more smell.

Roughly how much to replace the ring..?

check yr fuel lines and injector O'rings for any leaks...fuel pump and also the fuel filter area...if in doubt...replace...esp when u know that its an old car e.g EF,EG series which are more than 10 years old...most of the time they've never been replaced before...so my best bet is to just simply bite the bullet and one shot replace all the rubber fuel hoses...
