OK, so we know Oliver is using the correct plug in the
wrong car....  :)  We can now offer some likely
reasons for the carbon buildup, in order of most
likely:

1) Oil burning due to worn valve-guides and/or seals
2) Oil burning due to worn/broken piston rings
3) Rich mixture due to FI, sensor and/or F/TCU
fault(s)
4) Extended operation at very low engine speeds
5) A combination of the above is also possible
