Re: [T3] Oooh that Smell!
<x-flowed>
I had that happen big time on my type 3 and didn't hear any untoward
exhaust noises either, but when I drove it to the shop to install the
new heat exchangers I had all the windows open and my head out the
window, the exhaust smell was so bad, and that was with the heater
valves closed!
Even back in the day (early 70's) I can remember changing several
heat exchangers for the same reason.

Hmmm, that's troubling, I don't hear any exaust popping from inside them,
but I suppose the leak could be really small.

One of the heat exchangers is broken inside, and when you turn the
centrifugal force shifts it out of line and a puff of exhaust gets
into the hot air chamber.
It is likely leaking a little all the time and is putting carbon
monoxide into the car. Be careful.
