Hey guys, my car is running ridiculously rich and it stinks, and this is what comes out of my exhaust after starting it and letting it run for 5 minutes. I'm guessing this is not normal?! I can't really tell what it is either? Could it just be condensation, but just black from the sooted up exhaust?....

 

Perhaps it should cut down to say 40 a day?

 

Nothing wrong with that mate, subaru's run quite rich i reverse mine up the drive to a wall and its covered in soot lol

 

Just a mixture of soot & water that.. Wouldn't worry. Like u say its probably just condensation in the exhaust

 

+1 for condensation

 

check for error codes

 

That's not normal. As above, pull the error codes ASAP.

 

unless you have done loads of engine starts and let it run but not driven it then thats a little too much water in the pipes id say, is it like that after you have driven it ?

 

Get it out for a good drive to get the exhaust hot too the tip. This will dry it out, if you then get this again it points to a bigger issue.
