Almost impossible to diagnose something like that over the internet. All I can suggest is check the usual stuff like exhaust condition,for any signs of oil/fluid leaks. Also the breather system to make sure oil vapour isnââ,¬â,,¢t leaking somewhere. I assume the smell originates on exterior of car somewhere from your description?

What garages have you tried to get a diagnosis at? Might be worth hunting down a vag specialist

Thanks so much Boss for your reply and I take my Cars local garage and I am satisfied with his service.and regarding this issue they have diagnosed 2 faults.
1-Intake Air Temp.Sensor.
2- Cylinder 4 Glow Plug Circuit.
So they said these faults can't provoke smell (thing I can't say nothin mot I don't know as I am not a mechanic)
And what I have noticed is when car is stop and if accelerate it then I smell more and also noticed morning time is more exterior and interior. Anyway where are you located ?
Thanks

Auxiliary/booster heater fault assuming you have one fitted, think they use the Webasto heater on the later cars.

Good shout there Chris forgot about the boost heater, although too be fair wasnââ,¬â,,¢t aware later ones had them

Our last Motability car was a 64 reg Sharan that had the Webasto heater, mounted in the engine bay as opposed to under the car.
