Exhaust Gas smell cooking through air vents

[Tim.carter]

Hi all for the past week I've noticed the smell of exhaust gases coming through my air vents whilst the car isn't moving. just wondering if anyone has had this problem before? maybe a leaking manifold? Cheers.

It's a 58 plate diesel accord

Sounds like it could be an issue with a slight leak in the exhaust or EGR valve...worth getting checked before it gets any worse

Let us know what you find

Hi Tim, I had this on a 2010 Accord Tourer, it could be either the manifold split, they were made as two parts and welded together, they did recall them but under 60K. I had the same issue on my 2011 CRV this was replaced by Honda.

But I also had a concertina type exhaust pipe on the rear of the engine go on the Accord , that had to be replaced, about £170 for the pipe and £300 labour as the pipe is at the rear of the engine and hard to get to 😞
