Hi all,

I have a 132 TSI Comfortline Passat MY17 (no options) purchased new in Aug 2017 and with around 9k in kms. I have noticed a fresh petrol smell (i.e. I don' think it is an exhaust smell) in the cabin when I first start the car up, such that I drive with the windows open for the first few hundred metres to clear the smell. After that there is no smell.


The car otherwise performs brilliantly for me and I have been very happy with it. Has anyone else noticed this problem? I will book VW to check the car out for me.

I use 95 octane fuel (usually Caltex), which is the minimum required under the manual.

Thoughts?
