Might be a cracked exhaust manifold. Look for a puff of smoke in the manifold area when starting as this is a sign

Also check the boot lid & door seals are all intact and the doors are closing properly. It could also be a small fuel leak under the bonnet being picked up by the a/c, or a missing grommet seal through the front bulkhead.
