My Fuji white SDV6 D4 quickly acquires a layer of black soot which is quite obvious resulting in black streaks if it gets wet.
Anyone else notice this? D3 even though mapped does not have as much soot. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Is this on the rear bumper? If so, haven't noticed any.
Could it be related to the problem that necessitated the fix you had done recently?

I think it maybe be rated but was told soot is normal on 3.0L
Was not convinced it was a my remapped 2.7 smokes due to map and I don't get soot.
If revved in neutral it will put out black smoke.
I will see what the back looks like after the mod. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Like all Discos it gets dirtiest on the rear but I wouldn't say that I've had any black deposits tbh 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Definitely black soot not road grime. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

My 2011MY SDV6 doesn't smoke so I don't think soot is normal?

My my2012 gets a sooty backend too, especially if I've been welding the welly to the Wilton. I don't see it as a problem, just a bit of smut getting kicked out of the exhaust.

Goat, have you had the turbo drain mod done? “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

My D4 - V8 (petrol) gets a layer of black grime on the rear (that looks like soot) - are you sure it is not just tire rubber and other road users soot ?

As the D3 doesn't get it I am sure it is soot. Seen the black road grime on cars in UK we don't get much road grime on Oz for some reason. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
