AALPHA2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Got in my Freelander TD4 2001 auto yesterday and there is a bad gassy egg smell while driving and parked. It was there again today and I have no idea why. Cant see any leaks, but I am no expert. Any ideas??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finnarne Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Have you checked the charging from the alternator ? I Had the same problem on an old Volvo with a defective charging regulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
