Smell of diesel when stationary

    Hi guys,

    I drive a 1.6 VW Golf 2010 and have over the last week noticed that there is a strong smell of diesel to be smelt when the car is stationary in traffic.

    Is this something that I need to get looked at ASAP and is it potentially serious?

    Any advice is appreciated, as I haven't a clue about cars!

    You should definitely get it checked pronto.

    1 When moving off in the morning, check for diesel spots underneath the car on the driveway.
    2 With car idling walk around and see if you get the smell from the fuel cap or the engine area.

    Either way - do get a pro to have a look as there be several things wrong, some easily fixed and some not easily fixed.
