UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi I just had my 2011 VW Polo in the garage for a service and MOT . Since I got it back I can smell fumes coming out of the air vents but only when the car is stationary. Any idea what it could be ? I looked under the car to see if the exhaust was damaged but it seems ok .
