Pete.sVR6 0 Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 I've got a rather sooty exhaust - does this mean i'm running too rich? Or is this normal? (ORIGINAL THREAD)Mine does this too, only noticed when I put my Scorpion exhaust on, (shiney tailpipe doesn't stay shiney very long) have just had a major service at VW so assume this must be normal.

madmonkee 0 Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 i recon it summit to do with the oil levels, when my car was running low on oil(without me knowing) the tailpipe stayed clean. When i topped it up with fresh new oil, the tailpipe now soots up....just a theory. Might be something else Link to post Share on other sites
