I have just bought and picked up a Qashqai 1.5 DCi 2007 (57 Plate). Whilst driving it home today I noticed a very strong smell of fumes coming from the passenger side mainly with the air vent open, not such a strong smell with the air vent shut but nevertheless enough for me as an asthmatic to have a tight chest on driving home only 25 miles. Could anyone enlighten me for when Ii take it back on Monday to the dealer as to what it might be please as I concerned. Thanks.
Replace a cabin filter with a new one (consisting of active coal) and disinfect aircondotion with O3 treatment or spray for that purpose. After that you'll be fine.

^^ what he said, but I would just double check that there is not a leak in the exhaust somewhere. IMHO, there should be no exhaust fume smell coming into the cabin, filter or no filter!
Just noticed mine in this colder weather its coming up through the oil filler cap then obviously through to the vents and into the car!!!!1 Anyone had this?? Can't believe a 2 year old car can have this issue. Has a Zafira B for 6 years and never has a issue such as this!!!!!
Got mine sorted after a fashion..The dealer had to get a specialist company to remove a sealed in faulty injector took weeks. Got the car back and it was 100 times WORSE!!! So i decided to take the cover off and have a look and this was what i found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_65sFHhW-0
What a mess car was actually driven back like this and i used it for a few days!!! Dangerous soooooo back to the dealer basically needing ALL 4 injectors replacing . The car has only done 40k loads diesel mess left .
Terrible.
