Title: Tail pipes
Post by: lowdown on 16 April 2006, 10:51

I've done 750 miles from new.  Sticking to the guidelines for running in etc.  I have notice there are black sooty deposits in the tail pipes.  Is this normal?  Optimax used 100% of time.

I will post a pic, anyone know how to do this? (late: see my dub gallery)

This is normal yes.

Autoglym do a chrome polish in a tube that cleans em up a treat!

I was about to post a message asking the best way to clean up the pipes, so thanks for the tip! Mine are pretty grubby and don't respond to a cloth and water... :sad:
