Glad you have found it (just got mine back, fixed under warranty) the Common rail system operates at silly pressures and can be in excess of 16 Bar. So any weakness in the fuel system on the high pressure side will soon be evident pretty quickly. Ian |

I have a similar smell inside the FL2 at startup and occasionally at other times. Thanks for the heads up and I'll be having a look later this week at the injectors. I have also today had a split turbo to throttle hose replaced, so will see if that might have also caused the smell inside.

Mine is into our local main dealer this week to have the fumes issue sorted and a new throttle body fitted. I believe the fumes are from a leaking injector but we'll see what they say / fix. |

Occasionally I expierence the same: strong exhaust gas smell under dense traffic conditions. Strangely, it seems to occur mostly in wet / rainy weather.. My only fix then is to push the air-recirculation button. I own a MY 2009. |

Car should have been in today for injector leak and new throttle body but the dealership has had to defer us for a while so still no fix.

Update: mine down to failure of turbo which was leaking gases through its body (assume seals failed?). Replaced under warranty, phew! 2011 SD4 HSE Auto
