    mild exhaust smell while stationary...

    I am getting a mild exhaust smell in the cabin. The smell quickly goes away after I start moving again..
    I checked exhaust and was very hot...is that normal?

    Yes your exhaust will be hot..... is the smell coming through your aircon or did you have your window down?

    I doubt you have anything to be worried about then if your window was down.

    It's a diesel, it can smell.
    Deal with it, it's normal.
