VW TDI Smell?

[Chris Everett]

A coworker of mine said she was noticing a smell of her 2010 VW Golf TDI, saying it smelled like bleach when she got out of her car. She notices this also when she puts the window down a bit while driving as well. Is that just the normal exhaust smell?

The smell of bleach is a good sign. It is sign of clean diesel burning. I can’t tell you if new additive or new change in diesel is a cause but you don’t have to worry

The only thing I would double check is it is coming through the air vent as the exhaust can leak in the engine bay. So that will be the any thing that could be an issue, In the same time if you will breath it from that problem. I suppose they would notice head ache and their eye burning..

Diesel is safe that way over gasoline. That will give you lots of symptoms

K!
