exhaust leak

I have exhaust fumes coming into the cab. I have had all joints checked and there are no leaks. the exhaust comes out the off side of the van. my mechanic thinks the fumes may be coming in through the engine cover but if the joints are ok I don't know how. would having the exhaust coming out of the back of the camper make a difference

One way to detect where the fumes are coming in is smoke pellets.

depending on where your existing exhaust is coming out and a photo would help then it could be just a short extension thats needed .

i have had the same problem and all it was was the joint in the middle had pulled apart slightly and there was a very small gap where the exhaust is slotted to allow it push together, cut off the old clamp, pushed tightly back in and new clamp sorted well worth a look

exhaust leak

when my mechanic checked my van out after the mot he thought the van was running very rich as when the engine was running the fumes were burning his eyes so he weakened the mixture screw by one and a half turns and hey ho no more fumes coming into the cab and better fuel consumption. on my last trip I covered 635 miles averaging over the entire trip 20.25 mpg
