I had this very problem on an old 900 auto. There is a breather/vent pipe that runs along the inside of the car on the right hand side across the lower part of the roof lining (Above the doors) . This then makes its way to the outside front wheel arch, i think its by the air control Vacuum tank. What may have happened is when the roof lining was screwed up, one of the screws perforated the pipe so you are getting the Fuel vapour inside the cabin. I hope you find it, just look at where the screws are positioned and that is where the hole should be. -- Regards, Graham........ Location: UK ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
