Re: interior smell

The smell is not exhaust but oil fumes from the engine compartment. The design flaw here is that the interior air intake and filter are in the engine bay. When moving, the bay is ventilated but stopped, the fumes are drawn in. My '98 1.8T leaks like a seive so, other than keeping the engine operating-room clean, I don't see a solution
