Fumes in cabin

Jaguar XJ 2.7 Diesel - 2006 

Hi all I'm new to the forum - I have a problem with my Jaguar -

Engine fumes in cabin from ventilation system. Smells the same if you take off Oil filling cap off engine. 

Could you direct me to a sub forum or have you any ideas about this ?

Hi

I'd start in the engine bay, its going to be a crankcase breather or rocker cover breathers, there usually piped into the air box or induction pipework, so the engine burns them

at a guess either a hose has perished or come off, then the vapours/smells are being sucker in by the heater vent

with the engine warm and running you should be able to either see it or smell it, if you cant find it, get some damp start and spray it in area around the engine bay, when you find the right area, the damp start will cause the revs to raise, so you know your in the right area

cheers
