    What do you mean by fumes? Is it a particular smell? Oil? Exhaust? Best not mess around with something like that if you're not sure. Get a mechanic to take a look I'd say.

    I could be anything really, but if it is exhaust fumes I would rather get it checked sooner rather than later.

    That could be your problem.

    Possibly an issue with the firewall or the boot. You should not be smelling exhaust fumes inside the cabin with widows closed.
    Does the boot close proper? How's the seal?

    Most likely there's a flexi on the exhaust starting to go, seen it on a few passats and golfs over the years. Reason you don't get it while driving is that the airflow under the car is enough to move them away from the cabin.

    I have exactly the same problem with my Bmw at the moment.
