DIY inlet valve cleaning Mk5 GTI - Picture Heavy!!

[pudding]

Nice job mate     I did wonder if the BMW tube would fit our engines.

AKS are doing my inlets next month.  I did fancy having a crack at it myself but I can't be bothered with the faff of taking the manifold off!

TBH it's really straight forward to remove the inlet, it's just a case of time but otherwise simple. Although awkward, it better than being under the car and limited chance of things being rusted / seized.

Excellent Job v4rley!!

Very impressive!!

I'll be doing mine again when I upgrade to S3 injectors for my K04 conversion.

I will definitely copy your method. The chemicals and the scraping is a right old faff with results which are not nearly as impressive as yours!!

Well done buddy!!

I will try and move the photos from the start of the thread to Flickr and reload them. These Photobucket jokers really are a cruel bunch of pricks - Rant over

@fab5freddy thanks pleased with my effort

@99hagued Not sure on difference, as did multiple tasks (rfd, rs4 valve, loba hpfp). brought a cheap blaster of eBay for £10 that fitted on a compressor line and adapted the end with some copper pipe also adapted a silicone hose:



@Pudding obviously can see my attempt at replicating the BMW kit. The BMW does fit our inlet to but are about £90 for the atttachment but not readily available in the U.K.  Someone in America has 3D printed versions for about £50

thats brilliant Varley  great result too
