Exhaust Discharge...

[Olliew321]

Hi can anyone help or lend advice?

I have some browny (effectively) flakes coming out of the exhaust on start up when its cold in the moisture, hard to notice when hot.

Has anyone had this before?

Any tips on what i can do or stop doing etc?

I will try and upload a photo but it isnt working at the moment.

It's a 2.5 GTO 2002.

Its soot in your exhaust coming out with the moisture and steam. Only way to stop it is to never start it.

My 2.5 does it and mainly due to how rich it is on start. Up. What ECU u running?

My 2.5 has done it since i brought it (5 years)

Mine always did it and still does it after a full rebuild. Don't worry about it. And don't stand behind your car thing to your mate whilst in white trousers as I did. Dnt notice until I was a,ready on my night out. Haha.

It's the MBE ECU I think. How can you tell the difference again?

If its a MBE ECU it will say it on the ECU.

I think you can get some cream for that
