Hot air in cabin Steering shaft Boot fix
You have hot air / engine smell in your cabin ?
maybe this is your problem
found lower part of Boot broken off
fix is not difficult but long if you have cats
without cats like me it was a piece of cake
the steering column and push the upper part into the cabin
unbolt tho upper bolts of the heat shield and bend a little to make space
unbolt the 3 bolts of the plate holding the boot from under the car
the plate moves then up in the cabin to free the boot
glide the new boot in from under he car
reverse
in the cabin
under the car

This happens on the w210 too...I wrapped fibreglass insulation around the shaft inside the split boot...still did the job 4 years later when I sold the car.
