Our 2000 Beetle is running REALLY rich. We changed the plugs and air filter, but no change. What could be some of the causes we can pursue?

How do you know it's running rich?
What are the code numbers of any trouble codes stored?

When it is running at idle, you smell raw fuel and the exhaust is sooty.
