Hi Alasdair,

How much was the fix, and did you use an independent garage?

I've got the same problem.

Was it the auxiliary heaters exhaust manifold?

Cheers.

Hi guys,

I'm new to the forum.

I recently bought a 2006 2.7d.

Fallen in love with it tbh, but I have the diesel fume warm up heater problem. It's pretty sickly. Eventually it goes but also the engine takes an age to warm up. Related? Does anyone know of the cure? Is it the auxiliary heater leaking diesel fumes into the intake. I've had it on an independent ramp and he couldn't see any manifold/exhaust leaks. Thanks in advance. The more information I can garner the better. Please lmk.

Hi mate, mine has same problem, smells of diesel on startup, it's pretty vile. I'm assuming something to do with auxiliary heater. Is that the common cure, fitting an 'elbow'?
