November 22, 200520 yr The inside of my Loyal smells of exhaust fumes when the heater blower is on and the car is stationary - goes away when the car is in motion. Have had the exhaust checked for cracks, and seems to be OK. Any ideas?
November 22, 200520 yr Did you check the gaskets on the exhaust flanges on the heads? It might also be helpful to know what year and engine you have.
November 22, 200520 yr yes, definatley check the gaskets, if its a loyal, its definatley a ea82(aleast if its stock it will be) i guess if the gaskets are leaking, fumes could get into the fan blower, and blow fumes inside?? if it goes away when your driving, maybe just because the air is blowing the fumes away from the blower
November 22, 200520 yr my guess exhaust gaskets, my 88 turbo needs aleast 1 gasket passanger, and you get alittle fumes and sounds like leak in the front
November 22, 200520 yr Check the rubber gromets, or "Drain plugs" under the rear seat and under the floorboards, see if their all thare. I found one missing under the back seat in my subee.
November 22, 200520 yr Author Did you check the gaskets on the exhaust flanges on the heads? It might also be helpful to know what year and engine you have. The engine is a 93'....some how the air intake for the blower is sucking up exhaust from somewhere, but the muffler garage said there are no cracks in the system. Visually there appears to be no exhaust leaking out, but I could be wrong.
November 22, 200520 yr To check for exhaust leaks, start the engine and take a rag in the palm of your hand, plug the tailpipe to stop the exhaust from coming out. You will be able to hear any leaks.
November 22, 200520 yr well i think it will be coming from the y-pipe gasketts, if it leaks there, your not going to notice it towards the muffler. also, it would be a good idea to check those drain plugs
November 22, 200520 yr Mine leaks at my right side pollution pipe that comes of the the headnear header flanges so check that to
November 23, 200520 yr it might be a exaust leak or the little hose going to your breather element isn't attatched properly.
