Noticed dark patches of... crap on driveway as of late. Just realized today, it's in fact coming out of the exhaust at start-up. Dark matter of something, it's not oily or wet, it's just kind of powdery from what I can tell.
Bad photos, but you get the idea of what I mean. Why is this?
Edit: My mate reckons it's normal, and it's the very reason some shops do not allow reverse-parking close to the shop due to diesels spraying crap like this everywhere. I've personally never seen it before, or knew about it.
I have a 2011 and I also asked the same question. I have a 3" Taipan exhaust so she splatters out quite a lot.
I was told is normal for diesels and is just condensation built up in the exhaust being expelled with carbon. And should be nothing to worry about.
2011 GU8 ST 3.0 CRD, ARB Bullbar with IPF spotties, scrub bars and side steps, Snorkel, Dual Battery system, Waeco fridge, Turbo Timer, ARB Roof Rack with 5 IPF spotties across the front, Custom full Leather Bucket seats, DPchip, 3" Taipan exhaust, ARE Intercooler & scoop, Autron EGT/Boost and dual volt gauges, ARB front locker.
yeah mine does it a fair bit, 3" straight through exhaust 4.2!
Holy crap and here I'm thinking mine is bad. LOL
Just turned the car on before and gave it a few revs after start up, walked around to open the rear door and nearly went ass over head by slipping on the crap.
Today there was a crapload of it, it was actually flowing down my driveway. Maybe cause I revved it a tad after star-up and mixed with condensation. Who knows.
