Robbie, my previous +4 2016 gdi sounded similar to yours in being rather sooty. I took it to the dealer for a ECU 'flash' which was done free of charge. It changed things significantly, much leaner and seemed more willing at lower revs.

As yours is only 2018 I would think a polite moan to your dealer may result in the same. Worth a try.

My newer +4 doesn't have the issue, I suspect a lot of these 'upgrades' we never get to hear about.
