nickoyster4 Posted Friday at 05:48 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:48 PM A man requires assistance. 😂😂 I possess a 2015 BMW 118d M Sport, and for the past few months, following the installation of my flexi pipe, there has been a diesel/exhaust odour permeating the cabin. I have taken it to the garage, but they were unable to detect any exhaust leaks and found no indications of leaks under the hood; the smell is primarily noticeable at idle or low speeds, as well as during reversing. I have removed my induction kit and reinstalled the original air box in hopes of finding a solution, but it has not worked; I am at a loss regarding where to investigate further without incurring additional expenses on the vehicle! Do you have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuirkyPixel Posted Friday at 05:49 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:49 PM It is impossible to detect odours via the internet. Uncertain about how anyone might assist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickoyster4 Posted Friday at 05:49 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 05:49 PM I acknowledge that, but I am curious if anyone has encountered a comparable situation and could guide me accordingly; I am fairly certain that individuals are familiar with the scent of diesel.

Gianni682 Posted Friday at 05:49 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:49 PM Is the odour diesel or exhaust, as they are distinct? If there is an odour of exhaust, inspect for indications of soot surrounding the turbo VNT arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickoyster4 Posted Friday at 05:50 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 05:50 PM I would assert that it is primarily an exhaust odour that has persisted since the flexi was replaced; it was emitting between the turbo and DPF, so I replaced the clamp and gasket, yet the smell remains.
