Hi all,
On the way back from work recently a colleague of mine said that my car was smoking a fair bit (grey - black smoke, engine was cold, no vtec was engaged, revved to 4k max). And later on nearing home (when the car was warmed up) he said that it was very sooty when I hit vtec and changed gear (puff of smoke when I changed).
I even have a dark almost like a burn on my rear bumper above the exhaust!
The car is over due a service (by a couple of hundred miles) so I'm hoping that when this is completed it should help (gruppe M air filter cleaned, oil, oil filter, plugs, fuel filter, pollen filter etc)...
It doesn't seem to be doing this constantly... if I drive it hard for a few minutes (for the first time in a while) then drive it hard again it doesn't do it so perhaps it's just clearing "cobwebs" out of the exhaust!?
Any help/advice is much appreciated!
