PGevanthor Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 hello allthe back (underside) of my car has this greasy black film spread on the portion of the fuel tank and the rest of the car body, say the width = the lenght of the tail pipe.......u/s of rear bumper does not get that (car gets washed there)what would cause this smut to settle ? idling ??I do lots of hwy driving with sometimes a lot of touch/go (peak hrs) on the same hwyregards←Just after we bought our 2003 V70 2.4T I noticed that the cat liked to sit under the rear of the car to get out of the sun, safety, who knows. I also noticed that the back and top of her head had grease on it. It turned out the the factory sprays a greasy rust preventative in that location. The dealer offered to remove it, no charge. What happened was that the hitch we put on (Hidden Hitch) kept the cat's head away from that spot.If you look under other V70s, you'll see the same application of grease. The older the car is the greyer it will be from picking up road dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bay13 Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 They don't do the whole car, not all the metals on the car would need that protection. I hate it when they hit the bolts with it, hard to get a wrench or socket to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
