Engine smells
When the vehicle is hot, and at a standstill/creeping at low speeds, I am getting smells of "hot engine" in the cabin, must be underbonnet fumes getting into the ventilation intake. No problem at higher speeds.
Anyone had anything similar before?MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

Do you do a fair amount of city/ stop start driving? Could be the DPF going through a regeneration cycle, a regeneration cycle can create some uinpleasant hot engine smells in slow moving traffic.2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
