Hello
I have a 2018 B9 van with 54000 miles on it .In March of this year i started getting fumes in the cab.
So far i have had the head oil leak done , a new water pump fitted tightened every easy access cap and clip i can see .
The exhaust has been check and has no leaks
Slowly the fumes have eased but im still getting a sore throat and an unpleasent taste after driving the van .
If i accelerate hard i get an oil smell .
I have looked under and over for any signs of oil blow but can't see or touch any anywhere .
HELP ANYONE!!!!!
Is there anything i should be looking for , tightening or replacing . Other than the fumes the van runs perfect , it did 700miles on a full tank of diesel during a trip to Scotland and didn't miss a beat .
There can't be much wrong with it other that its causing me stress and throat issues .
Do any of you have any answers please
Fumes still after 5months

Re: Fumes still after 5months
A common problem on vans is poor sealing of the back doors, the fumes from the exhaust get dragged in.

Re: Fumes still after 5months
A friend has this issue on his Picasso - oil leaking from the injector seals, pooling and then when hot smoking and being drawn in from the outside air inlet.
Retightening injectors and a good clean up was required, but still smelled for a time after until all the old residue has burned off.
