yup, 1.2 8v, and it fastens on to that round airflow thing with the arm on it that controls the flap for hot and cold air

sounds like petrol leaks to me. I just put petrol in my car last weekend and it seems to be using a little more fuel. Cant decide whether its cos i have added yet another cold air feed to my BFO or cos or the drop in temperatures in the weather

i dont think its fuel leak, it is like the exhaust fumes just smell well petrolly, which makes me think the air/fuel mixture isnt right..
