Exhaust Soot on Polo GTI

[Zakarados]

Just a tip for people getting the soot on the rear of their polo.
After detailing my Polo doing a Wash > Clay > Wax, the soot comes off much easier, and does not stick as much as it used to.
Although this doesn't fix the problem, it does help the cleaning process.

One other thing, I have changed the BP servo I was using, and it seems to be reducing the amount of soot... It has only been one week, so lets see how it goes.

yes, same issue. had this car for 4 years now and nothing has changed. I still use about 4-6L of oil per year (on top of the top ups when its serviced). and yes, our white hatch (and window) are usually covered in oil spots and yes it also blows smoke occasionally under heavy acceleration. sad becuase this is an otherwise great car. hopefully these design faults have since been sorted out.
