I have a 1994 960 with 185K and have kept it up with local dealer. However, when the car is running and you are riding behind it there is heavy fule smell. I have had the fuel system pressurized and tested, had the fuel rail replaced, the vent hose on the the tank at the fill nozel replaced, new fuel cap, new catilitic coverter ($900).
Could it have something to do with the charcoal cannister and catilitic coverter where the unburnt fuel is recirculated back into the catilitic converter. The service light is on...dealer told me to ignore..some thing to do with the sensor at the catilic converter.
The car burns no oil and doe not leak fuel or oil when parked.
