Maybe your best bet is to drive a few similar models and then compare each car. Cars are made by the tens of thousands, there's always another one to choose out there.

its the carbon that the new diesel have to lock in a dpf and burn in to nano particulate matter . to keep the knotheads in california happy. And yes you would want to check with fueltrim diagnosys some high pollution engines like most asian sold stuff make sooth as normal.

What year ? a 2000 yaris verso 1.5 vvti toyota has mode 6 emission self monitoring. as where the same 2000 year funcargo has no emission self monitor sold not to europe So it really depends what year if its above 2010 then i would be worried if its 2005 or below then its probably almost normal."almost with caution"

It is pretty common when a car has just arrived and hasn't been taken for a drive here in NZ. Exhausts full of water. The test is what its like now its been through a heat cycle here in NZ

Hes meaning being driven around here and getting it good and hot to clear the exhaust.

Sorry mals missed this. The car at the minimum has stood around for 3 months only being started for long enough to put it on a truck or drive off a truck onto a boat-off a boat etc. all cold running likely barely over the idle. Then Something that used to happen in Japan but now happens on the Auckland wharf is the MPI cleaning and inspection. The hunt for bug n drugs n bad rust. That means it gets a blast with a pressure washer .-often it goes upo the exhaust. Then the car gets groomed. So before passing judgement on water up the pipe I'd want to run the car through one long (30 minutes or more) heat cycle.

Birdshit--the bane of our lives--especially with restricted water use allowed.
What a load of waffle. The levorg has only been manufactured from 2014 onward, all subs self monitor emissions as a side effect of normal closed loop operation, I don't know of any modern ecu that doesn't. Or are you going to try to assert that oxygen sensors are ONLY used to control emissions again and not to adjust trims/fa ratio. Yes I have a long memory, I remember well the twaddle you spouted about that one years ago.

Like tar? as in sticky? with an oily component to it? Or dry? like soot and sprayed in water?

it may be a a load of irrelevant waffle. But no that is not what he is saying. He is talking about mode 6 monitoring. Which is a specific mode mode of the obd2 protocols not always supported on obd2 either. It monitors/tests certain components like 02 sensors and cats. This data from the tests can be accessed at a later date. Can be used to check misfire data aswell which can be very handy when the manafacture doesn't include these pids.

Right, water and carbon, the squirt up the tailpipe hypothesis is the most likely candidate.
