After ive driven my car for a while round town then go to pull up, its smells really bad - like rotton eggs coming out of the vents. it only does it when u stop still, once u get moving again it goes from the vents and my m8s say they can still smell it a little from the back. I thought it wud be the cat thats nackered, but the cat is fine, hasnt melted or anything and is still a nice honeycomb, as i only bought it last year about september time. anyone help? :

I had simular to this, turned out it was the washer fluid. As it drained off into the scuttle then came through the vents. Took me a while to relise until i found out it co-insided with me washing the screen.

Boiling battery acid will smell like rotten eggs... Is your battery all right? It could be leaking.
