exhaust fumes
Has anyone noticed that their 206cc sometimes produces rather a lot of exhaust fumes ... I was waiting at some lights the other day and noticed what seemed like fog behind me and the people on the car behind wafting their hands.. turns out to be my exhaust. OK it was a cold day bit I've noticed the same on not so cold days. The garage have said this is only steam ... and OK it doesn't seem to smell of anything more sinister ... but I look at other cars and don't seem to see as much 'steam' ... anyone any ideas ? or have the same 'steam' ?

Yes the A/C indicator will be on in Auto..
Talking about A/C.. I was reading an interesting article the other day about, sick car syndrome..
Apparantly A/C systems breed micro-organisms in the duct work etc that can cause nasal & chest infections.. It is particularly bad if the A/C is not used for an extended period of time.. ie over Winter, whicj allows the organisms to breed and build up.. hey presto you turn it on again and you are bombarded!!!
Also it is not a good idea to turn the A/C off over winter anyway because it can cause "latent damage" to the compressor/heat exchanger etc not being used during this period..
This info comes from a A/C manufacturer..
