2013 tdi passat ammonia smell in backseats

Hello all,

I have a new to me 2013 passat tdi se and i'am getting an ammonia smell mainly noticeable sitting in the back seat, after the car has been shut off. At first i thought the detail shopped used some weird cleaner on the carpet or seats, but after cleaning them myself, it keeps coming back. After i shut the car off i hear what sounds like a pump running at the passenger rear (The def tank) is this normal? Is there anyway an exhaust leak, could be making this happen? Also it is in a garage and do not notice the smell in the garage or even outside the car.

Thanks for any input.

Def does smell like ammonia https://www.jmesales.com/commonly-asked-questions-about-diesel-exhaust-fluid-def/

Could some have spilled back there or in the trunk? My dealer always spills some when they fill it

Def for sure

Check the DEF fill area, and especially the spare tire well.
