Hello everyone, I've been observing this site for a while as I've looked into buying a TDI. It has been very helpful. Well, I finally got around to purchasing one - a 2002 Golf GLS TDI, 5 spd. I just got it yesterday, and I love it already! However, because I'm a newbie, I'm not sure what to expect from certain things. In particular, the smell inside the car is very strong. Some of the smell appears to be dog smell from the previous owner. But the rest is clearly diesel. It could just be that I'm not used to it, but it seems way too strong for inside the cockpit. In fact, I start to get a headache if I'm in it for a longer drive. Now this could be the dog dander (i'm not known to be allergic), but I'm a bit concerned that there may be diesel fumes (carbon monoxide?) seeping into the cab of the car. Should I be concerned? How could I determine whether this is the normal smell or a sign of a problem?
Any information would be very helpful.
Thanks, and keep up the great work. I am happy to now be among the ranks of TDI ownership.
