Golf Anniversary Turbo (sooty deposit) advice needed ASAP

[dickstar1977]

Hi Guys

I have recently bought a 1.8 turbo petrol golf GTI 25th anniversary on a 2002 with 30k. I previously owned a lupo GTI which I loved to bits and am equally stoked with my new car. The car is honestly immaculate and had two owners from new. It has never been damaged and is genuinely in A1 condition.

I keep the car very clean and when I bought it I cleaned the chrome tail pipe until it sparkled like new (was very dirt). Every time I take it out for a run and get home there is a sooty deposit around the base chrome pipe. There is no over smoking from the exhaust and the car drives superbly. It was serviced at the main dealer at 26.5K so its recently serviced.

Shold I be concerned at all? Any response would be greatly appriecaited!

Thanks Tom

My Audi used to do this and use a little oil. I think any slight richness in the mixture makes it do this.

I would not worry about it. (Apart from the fact that you have to cleaning it!)

Cheers

Nice car BTW!
