I've been having these exhaust fumes in my car while I stand still and have my fresh air turned on. When I get moving the fumes don't get in anymore. Been wondering if it could be my flexpipe that's leaking just abit. I also have read couple of posts where exhaust header has been slightly cracked but atleast I don't see smoke coming from there.

If its a big enough leak you can park your car over not frozen grass and have a friend rev the engine. You might be able to see the grass blowing underneath the car. Its what I did when my friends car was leaking.MRT
37.5 MPG, AC on, cruising at 80.
30.0 MPG, AC on, aggressively driving around 90.
27.5 MPG, no AC, cruising at 90 with occasional gridlock. 40 degrees Fahrenheit
Lots of DIY videos specifically for our car
Get some awesome wipers! <-- It's a DIY

Start the car cold, and put your hand carefully near anyplace you suspect a leak to feel for moving air. Be quick, it won't take long for the pipe to heat up.

Originally posted by MrSpeedy View PostSorry, I forgot to post that I cover the tailpipes, so then you should see smoke coming from the exhaust pipe if there's a leak. Atlest i've done that always when I've had a leak. But now it's like there's no leak or maybe a tiny hole somewhere. But I'll just keep searching. Thanks for the tips. We don't have any grass here anymore, only snow. Guess it could work also on that.

If that's the case, get a new header (i got the A4 tubular steel, no cracks! ) and check your firewall for any holes or missing plugs.
Hope that helps!

you can always just switch your air control to recirculating. it gets better air pressure with the fresh air vents closed anyway.MRT
