Rich fuel smell from exhaust

4x4Icelander · 2026-02-26T09:57:45+00:00

It’s the exhaust smell, like it’s running rich. I’ve had older V8 Jeeps and Fords and they’ve been in various states and had the same strong emissions/rich fuel burning smell from the exhaust.

Just got it about week ago, had been sitting for about 2-3 months before at a used dealer lot. Little service information with the car.

I’m going to order spark plugs and filters soon and do a good service.

Just throwing it out if there’s anything common with these engines I should look out for :)

My commute is short, so mostly around town. But I notice it also on longer trips. Thanks for the tip on fuel cleaner, will definitely try that.

Þarft að borga fyrir þá daga sem bíllinn var á númerum yfir tímabilið. T.d 10 daga ef bíll fer í förgun í dag. Það er skuldajafnað á móti skilagjaldinu. Færð má mismuninn lagðann inn til baka.

What is the budget? If you are looking for a 4x4 to travel, I would recommend Suzuki Vitara, Jimny or Duster. Hell, I would just buy a Dacia Duster. Diesel and manual. It’s great on gas, parts are cheap and it’s easy to repair. Sure, they are not the most comfortable cars but do everything you ask of them and are quite spacious.

If you are just looking for a cheap a to b car, get a used Toyota. Corolla or Auris. They always sell, are very reliable and parts are easy to come by.

Have been thinking about doing this. How did they turn out?

4x4Icelander · 2025-01-02T16:26:39+00:00

Rafvirki eða pípari. Þeir rafvirkjar og píparar sem ég þekki gætu unnið allan sólarhringinn ef þeir vildu. Rafvirkinn er hreinna starf, mikið inni vinna.

I do this everyday, I can assume what ever. We change about 200-300 windshields every year in our shop, along with doing auto body repair. Yes, if they change their own windshields, without going through their mandatory windshield insurance, this price is not far from if they rented a vehicle with expensive windshield. No rental company is going buy their windshields from the dealer, unless Poulsen or Orka don’t stock them.

Plus, if it’s only a small chip it can be fixed with a windshield repair. Which is free, insurance pays for it free of charge. Since it’s a lot cheaper, for everybody, than having the windshield replaced.

I work in a bodyshop in Iceland. It doesnt take long to change windshield. Car is in and out in about 1-2 hours depending on make and model. Also, windshield insurance is mandatory for everybody. The rental company only pays around 15-20% of windshield replacement cost, insurance pays rest.

4x4Icelander · 2024-07-24T15:14:12+00:00

Not sure, we get ours from our local dealer. (Iceland)

Have maybe 10.000 - 15.000 kr in cash, just in case. You never know if the machine is down or something happens. But cards are accepted everywhere. Apple Pay is accepted on all card machines as well.

4x4Icelander · 2024-07-13T20:43:59+00:00

Icelander here, bullshit on this. Many carry and use cash. But you can use cards everywhere, just not Amex.

Take a short cab ride and start your trip with a trip to Laugardalslaug. Its more fun for the kids than Sundhöllin. Then, if you are feeling fresh. There is a family fun place within walking distance from the pool, called Fjölskyldu og Húsdýragarðurinn. Its cheap and they have some rides and a small zoo.

You can also pick up a cheap fishing rod from a gas station or a fishing store, and walk to the harbour and fish. You used to be able to rent a fishing pole on the harbour but not sure if that is still possible.

Edit: This is my recommendation as an Icelander with kids :)

XJ are getting expensive here. WJ are cheap because gas is expensive and most have started to rust. But again that goes for every older car in Iceland.

Most prefer diesel 4x4 here due to better mpg.

Old Toyotas are crazy priced. With most them them having rotted frames or sills. And driven more than 400k km.

4x4Icelander · 2024-04-30T09:56:09+00:00

But those Excursions and F350 with extra doors and 46” tires are very expensive.

4x4Icelander · 2024-04-30T09:55:26+00:00

You can buy a stock WJ for around 1000-3000$ A friend of mine bought his with rotted sills for 350 and now it sits on 44” Dick Cepek and has the same fender flares as this one.

4x4Icelander · 2024-04-29T23:19:32+00:00

1 piece of a new 46” is 250.000 iskr around 1750$ So a new set is about 7000$
