As header, a friend brought a Renault 19 , J reg 1992 one hundred thousand on the clock, to me to check out - he had just bought it. The engine oil was filthy, black sludge when drained I it. Ok, no surprise there, flushed it out 2 or three times. BUT what I noticed when I changed the air filter - cylinder type - was that there was a carbon deposit on the *inside* of the filter cylinder. Seems to me something isn't right. Anyone know what this indicates? TIA for any feedback.
