Thankyou..
Exactly what I was searching for
A family member purchased a 2018 van this week and I noticed the exhaust was short and exiting the rear of the van.
why would you want to do that?
It was just that when we were in the van yesterday with the engine idling, there seemed to be a strong smell of fumes from under the van - did have the side door and side window open, thought it would be less if it was pushing it out the back. I guess it depends on wind direction as well.
If I am reading things correctly it seems VW did fit longer pipes to the passenger carrying versions of the van ? Perhaps for this very reason
you sure its not a split EGR pipe in the engine bay? (final exhaust fuses shouldnt smell very bad due to the cat and dpf)
but the EGR pipe splitting is a very common issue . . . and yours is a 2018 so prime candidate.
I've had mine done on bot 2018 and 2017 vans.

EGR flexi-pipe: Exhaust Fumes In Cab, Hissing From Engine Bay.
Looking at the access its a pig of a job! I have the 204 engine so access isn't so easy Took me a whole day to do. Still not sure the bolts are quite tight enough but seems to be ok. My hands took a right beating. There’s something back there a bit lower down too that looked like the oil...

Will check it out, next time she brings the van round, cheers.
I've a short exhaust on a 2018 SWB.
No opening rear windows on the right side of my RAC conversion. I ran the heater exhaust around there too.
The heat shield is there for a full length, but if it aint broke, don't fix it.
I like it. Gives me more room to add belly boxes or tanks etc.
Plus it gives the van more ground clearance (angle of attack when reversing).
