    Rotten eggs

    Volvo Volvo Advice Volvo S40 Volvo S40 Advice Volvo S40 2002
    I HAVE a 2002 Volvo S40 and use only Shell fuel. I mostly use PULP but sometimes I use regular ULP. After a trip I sometimes notice a rotten-egg smell about the car, and it can be with either fuel. Is it a fuel problem or a mechanical problem?

    I can't be sure but it sounds as if your catalytic converter isn't working. You'll notice a rotten-egg smell if your converter has failed. Ask your dealer to check it out.
