    Went for a cruise yesterday. There were a lot of cars and bikes on the road and traffic waa jammed. There was a small bike in front of me spewing black smoke out the muffler. I almost died of CO poisoning. Lol

    Called my workshop to see if it was a sealing problem with the recirculation vents, they told me that the vents on european cars never fully seal to let in some oxygen from the outside. He said he could seal it for me. Is this ok to do? I live in a small city in Malaysia where there is quite a lot of roae pollution from motorcycles and trucks... So i need to fix this or i wont be able to enjoy any cruises... [emoji23]

    Is your recirculating flap operational?

    Open the front luggage compartment and check to see if the fresh air intake flap in front of the windshield is closed. You shouldn't be able to see the blower fan blades with the flap closed.

    With the flap closed, the flap (shown in red) should pivot upwards to the light blue line.
