2012 Non-S Cooper base model - running rich
Hi guys,
Overtime I have noticed my fuel economy has gotten worse. From 7L/100km to 8.8L/100km. I also noticed the tail pipe is very sooty. I cleaned it and gave it a nice polish 2 weeks ago and it is already black! Acceleration is also slightly slow. I wonder if you guys can shed any wisdom on what’s going on? I don’t have any check engine lights on and after using a Bluetooth obd2 reader, I don’t have any codes. Can running rich not trigger any codes? What can I do?
thanks
oil is changed every 8000 KM
current odometer 117,000 KM
fuel filter, spark plugs, changed 3 years ago
