I own a Giulietta but both my cousins own a 1.4MA 135hp Mito and both experience exhaust smell with AC on and Air recirculation on inside the cabin, on high speeds, did anyone experience such a thing ??

Did you solve it? I have exactly same problem.

Have you changed your pollen Filter?

Check the vacuum pump for leaks. It's a shiny round thing on the side of the engine, above the gearbox. Also check the PCV for leaks where it goes on the valve cover.

It changed around june.

I have this, I made a post about it but it hasn't been authorised by the Mods yet (probably because I'm new).

I wondered could it be the same as this, though this is for a Guilia. Thoughts?

It might need a deep clean .. you can get something from car accessory stores that smoke out the bacteria that builds up in the a/c pipes ..

It turned out plastic sealing between wiper's plastic and hood slide and come out. After it seat back smell not disappeared but get far more less.

Hey,

Is it visible with the hood up or is it under the plastic below the wipers? Don't suppose you mean the chunky rubber piece at either side (left and right) of the plastic wiper cover that is separate from the thin long rubber seal that runs the width of the engine bay?

Thanks

I put an image and marked which seal. It is shorter in my car so edges are open. Also it came off from middle so there was an opening. After close middle part it gets far more better but i think i need to change it because of side gaps.
