Exhaust fumes coming through heater vents

Hi all my car has had this problem for a few months but I simply have been able to just leave the heater/blower off until it's gotten cold and need demister all the time. It's a 2004 golf 1.9tdi with BKC engine I have had this car since 2012 and problem only started a few months ago. It's definaty coming in thru heater vents and it's worse when in traffic sitting still and local garage says exhaust isn't the culprit.
It's making me ill any advice will be greatly apreciated.
Thanks Micky

EGR COOLER VALVE should be inspected...But then again i know nothing about a BKC.
On my BRM the Cooler valve bushing deteriorated and leaked causing a hissing sound when accelerating. i hope this somehow helps

Hi thanks for your reply I was thinking it was gonna be something to do with the egr thing I ain't had much experience with them I did take the egr thing off to clean it when I first got the car, will have a look tomorrow, should a leak be easy to spot?
Cheers

I was just reading the long thread on the bushing failing on these I don't have any hissing noises at all on mine but have noticed a tiny bit of oil on my garage floor under the gearbox area of the belly pan but I'm sure the exhaust fumes was coming in the cabin long before the oil stain was on the floor it's not a lot of oil at all just a visible patch on the cement.
Think I will get mechanic to check the whole egr system
Thanks

Iv noticed that there's gaps either side where the wings are and one of the polystyrene blocks is missing mite try seal the gaps try and stop the fumes reaching the heater intake

Would putting a blanking plate between the exhaust and the egr cooler pipe but leaving the rest in place be a cheap way to stop it leaking? I really don't want to spend any more on this car at the min lol

It's making me ill any advice will be greatly apreciated.

Remove the belly pan and see if you can live with it that way.

Does it not need the belly pan on like? Got it booked in to garage on thursday morning now see wot the garage says
Thanks Micky

It was a split egr cooler pipe I just removed both pipes and blanked them off with no issues or warning lights at all
