HI ALL FORD FANS.I AM NEW SO HERE GOES LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF
MY NAMES JON
I HAVE A PROBLEM THAT I WOULD LIKE SOME HELP WITH(HOPEFULLY)SOMEONE MAYBE ABLE TO HELP WITH OR COME ACROSS THIS PROB THEMSELVES.
I HAVE A 89 SAFF COS THE PROB ARISES WHEN YOU PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN I GET THIS HORRID SMELL LIKE FUME SMELL,IT GOES AFTER A WHILE IF YOU DONT BOOT IT AGAIN AND JUST CRUISE.
IT SEEMS TO COME ONLY ON HIGH REVS.
THE ENGINE HAS NO MODS AND IS STANDARD APART FROM A SCORPION EXHAUST (WHICH WAS BOUGHT SECOND HAND).THE SMELL IS A SMELL THAT I HAVE NEVER COME ACROSS BEFORE IN ANY OF MY OTHER CARS. THE MILAGE IS ONLY 87 THOU,AND THE CAR STOOD IDLE FOR 6 YRS BEFORE SOLD TO SOMEONE WHO ONLY PUT 300 MLS ON IT DUE TO BEING UNABLE TO GET INSURANCE ONLY ON A MONTHLY BASIS.
I BOUGHT IT 2 WEEKS AGO AND HAD A FULL FORD SERVICE DONE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS ALL FINE
ANY IDEAS
THANKYOU FOR YOUR TIME JON
FANTASTIC SITE KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK =LONG LIVE THE COSSIE=

 

Hi do u have a breather kit, sometimes i can smell the vapour from my oil breather kit when going some. Mine vents under the engine hence the smell.

 

i dont have a breather kit on the car thankyou for your reply

 

ah you mean the smell you only get from turbo cars

have you checked the gromets in the boot?
have you got your windows open when you boot it?

 

havent checked the gromets and yes the windows are open when i boot
the car.

 

windows open you drag fumes through the car!!

check the gromets
