going well so far  :happy2:

remember that the engine direct injects petrol into the cylinder so any 'treatment' would have to go through the intake side... (e.g. why the seafoam idea raised its head)
fuel additives be it in the petrol from the pumps or via addition by bottle will have no effect on the specific deposits we are talking about will it?

I would be very cautious about attempting it! its just worth reviewing and talking about....
The best thing may be to add a fix of some sort and leave the existing intake deposits well alone........

The mayo is a result of being exposed to a damp atmosphere, vapour condensing in the catch can. There's no mayo with the OEM system, so how can there be with the other sealed ones?



Thats good then. Im just going to go for the BSH Stage 1 fix and not have to worry about emptying the catch can.  :happy2:

it is worth it joe at virtually any point (a PCV fix of some sort)  :happy2:, but I guess if it gets to 100,000 miles maybe not!  :signLOL:

and keep in mind we cant add it to the fuel (as shown in that vid ) for it to work at the worst bit.................
no way Id add it to the oil!

It'll mostly be on the inlet valves, so a good start would be getting the inlet manifold off and just getting your hands dirty with some cleaner.

I'm not convinced that the sea foam will do a lot let alone anything. There’s no way that any amount of fluid left to its own accord will shift the baked on carbon around the valves. It'll take some serious pressure and for it to be directed at a precise point to even shift it.

Easiest comparison that I can think of making is by taking a car that’s done 40K miles and hasn't ever had the exhaust cleaned, is spraying it over with some shampoo going to do anything? No you need to scrub the git back to get it back to its best.

In theory I'd love to say it'd work but without actually seeing any evidence of it doing anything I'm not convinced.

pardon my ignorance but is this why my ed30 has oil round the cap regularly, if so could you just buy a catch can and make your own tap offs etc would be alot cheeper
