Re: Fumes in car
The usual culprit is the flexi section immediately after the turbo = are you sure it's not leaking there - (doesn't necessarily have to be noisy if it leaks a bit)?
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

Re: Fumes in car
Sounds like the flexi to me too, trouble is you have to buy the CAT too 
.
You might try an exhaust place to see if they can weld-in a flexi ? one of these places that do PowAr-flo systems might help.

Re: Fumes in car
Don't know if it's of any relevance- but my friend's astra coupe (petrol) had a fume in cabin issue that got worse with the windows open and it was down to the lambda sensor being corroded slightly
