Smelling exhaust fumes that aren't physically present could be due to a phenomenon known as phantom odor perception, where the brain misinterprets signals from the olfactory system. It may also be linked to environmental factors, such as air pollution or lingering odors from a nearby source. Additionally, certain medical conditions, such as sinus issues or neurological disorders, can cause distorted smell perception. If the sensation persists, it may be worth consulting a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
They don't. You need to stop sniffing exhaust fumes, mister.

Your exhaust may be leaking slightly at the front. The fumes can easily end up in the car this way. Exhaust gasses are poisonous so you should get it looked at as soon as you can. Another cause could be that a breather pipe has come of the engine or air box.
Volkswagens are kinda smelly anyway, but if there is a hole in the heater boxes or in the heater ducts leading to the cab, that can significantly increase the exhaust fumes in the cab. Also, if there's an exhaust leak through a rusty muffler, that's a loud, smelly problem.
