I know the query was about a Spider, and I've never had one of those, but on
our Alfetta GT the fumes used to come in as soon as the window was wound
down even a sixteenth of an inch, and I asked about it on the Digest, and
everyone said they'd be getting sucked in from the tailpipe area through
some gap somewhere at the back of the car, and not coming in from the engine
at the front. Anyway, as per Digest advice, I looked for leaks in the hatch
glass sealing, in the rubber bungs in the boot floor, around the tail light
gaskets, the number plate mounting holes, and all that sort of thing, and it
turned out to be inadequate sealing by the hatch rubber strip when the hatch
was closed. Boy were we glad to solve that - an Alfetta GT gets mighty hot
on a long summer trip if you have to keep the windows sealed up tight.
Thanks Richard and Digesters!
