    Lightbulb Black residue

    Hey I have had my 2008 speed3 for about 2 months now and I've noticed that on idle there is a bit of black chalky substance coming out of the exhaust? Has anyone else experienced this and is it normal or should it be diagnosed ? Just wondering cause I don't wanna harm this car by leaving it untouched and not examined before it turns into something worse

    Thanks boys,

    Damn JSharrmz, didn't know you picked up a Speed!

    But like Phil said, it's just from running too rich. Unless there's some other gypsy magic going on at the back of your car. Nothing to really worry about.
