Hello everyone.
I Just discover this forum searching in google about the problem with my T6 and I decided to open a Post to share with all of you what happens to me and the steps I'm getting... Maybe will be interesting for someone...
My problem is that I have exhaust smells into the cab of my T6. I have a 2.0 150cv Bluemotion with 120.000km. This smell is not continuous. I realized about this problem 2 months ago and from this date it happend 4 or 5 times. The main pattern I have found it's that it happend (or I realize) when the van is stoped but with the engine turn on, after a drive for example. The smells cames from the engine bay, under the bonet, on the right side. When the problem appears it smells a lot from outside of the van, and if i have the ventilation turn on it smells into the cab...
I don't know if it will be related with a regen of the DPF, I don't know how to confirm that the DPF is regenerating...
Another curious thing is that if I stop the engine when the odor start it continious smells during some minutes... For example the last time it occurs I left the van parked and, after 10-15 min, i came back to the van and it continious smelling...
Another aspect to be mentioned, I don't know if if will be coincidence, but the last 3 times it happend there was raining just before or I just been washed the van...
There is nothing wrong with the engine, I don't feel any power leak, I don't hear any blowing on the engine, There is no fault code on the OBD2...
As I read into another posts, I checked the EGR Pipe. This is the most common problem, but unfortunately in my case the pipe and the joints was perfect, I unmounted it and there is no leak... I made a visual inspection of the exaust system, from the catalized until the end of the exaust and it seems to be perfect, without any leak.
The next step i'm going to check is check the air entrance of the engine (to confirm that there is no blocked) and try to check the gas inlet manifolds to look for some leak.
This problem disconcert me, if the smell will be continious i would think about some leak on the exaust circuit... I'm also think about the possibility that the smell will be of "burned oil" and not exaust fume... but it seems to be exaust fume...
I'll keep the post updated, any idea is welcome.
Regards!
