When was the last time you filled up?

Have you had a look at the engine air filter?

I wouldn't worry about it, we do have new vehicles in the workshop where I work running while we are doing work on them and they are absolute stink. A good hard drive should cure it. that smell is common enough with common rail engines.

Agree with the above, a good spin,

I'd start worrying when there's no fumes :up:
