exhaust fumes
jason4x4 - 11/9/07 at 11:55 PM

with roof off i seem to get exhuast fumes sucking over the back of the car and into the cab at speed,, is this normal and is there a cure , exhaust points out the back at the moment,
anyone else had this?

The arodynamics of the car are sucking fumes back in, thats why some sports car manufacturers fit draft reduces behind the seats. Try fitting one, available from www.softbitsforsevens.co.uk or 01798813389 alternatively fit a side exhaust

I never get this problem but I have a side exit exhaust system - like most Se7en type cars.

What car is this?

sure its not a small leak under the car?

I'd be more inclined to think the smell was coming from the front of the car....

seems i should not try to be different and go for side exit, back to the workshop,,
a mate said it seems to be more of a fuel smell and as no leak found suggested a bigger air filter as it may be overfueling,??????
