Has anyone ever had a problem with their SEAT having a very strong petrol smell inside the cabin when first starting up, when moving slow in traffic or stopped in traffic? When I took it in for a service I mentioned it and they claimed to have fixed it yet 3 weeks later it’s come back again. I Drive a SEAT Ibiza Connect 1.2TSI 90PS 5-Speed Manual.

Any suggestions?

Could be the fuel pump under the rear seat

I had this, is there a strong smell from the outside too? Any lights on the dash? I had engine management and the EPC lights on. After looking around under the bonnet, the fuel rail had sheered bolts and was causing fuel to soak everything in its path with petrol.
