smell of sulphur volvo v70tdi - adverse camber
This afternoon I parked and got out of the car to a strong smell of sulphur, next door was just topping up his washers and said that the smell arrived with me.

I didnt notice anything while driving, or when parking earlier in the day. Clean underwear and socks this morning, never needed odour eaters before.

Any thoughts ?

My 406 Hdi has always smelt of sulphur especially when warming up. I guess it is a product of burning diesel fumes in a cat, not the 4 legged type!

Filled up with a different brand of diesel recently?

Well, its not done it before, but it does smell a bit like the cat pong you get from some cars.
The tank is almost empty, I usually fill up when it gets down to a quarter full so I guess it could be some crud in the bottom.

I'll see if it continues.

Thanks
