The 14RE that my Dad is running smells badly of exhaust if you drive with the window down.The exhaust is pretty new and looks /sounds in good fettle although it might be worth mentioning that the rear box doesnt have the usual pointing down tailpipe but a rather nice stainless steel oval (all part of tailpipe and not a screwed on Halfords jobby)tailpipe rather like a 16valver.
Any ideas?
Richard.

It's unlikely to be anything to do with the back end, just so long as the tailpipe actually clears the rear bumper.
I had a GTi with a smelly/exhuasty smell and it was because the breather pipe was blocked at one end and broken at the other.
