Guys my TFSI has done in the region of 65k miles and I suspect there will be a fair amount of carbon build up in the inlet.
Is the only way to clean it properly to remove the parts and do the job manually or are there any products that mean it can all be cleaned in situ?
Are there any recommended techs to do the job?
-
IIRC Wynns do an inlet cleaner (its about £7 on ebay) "Direct injection 3" or something. Just spray it in the PCV hole on the inlet manifold. :smiley:
-
Im afraid any products would be a waste of time, that stuff is like tar. I tried scraping it off with a wooden pic and carb cleaner but it's really hard to shift and I gave up in the end.
Here's the worst one of mine at 113k

Do not waste any money on cleaners. I learned from that mistake. Had my head rebuilt 6wks ago, it was horrendous. Nice and clean inside now and running a catch can. Cheers, Stevie.
-
You will always get some build up (even with a catch can) as oil will get past the turbo seals and make its way onto the valves.
Some people (even VW techs) have recommended doing an "Italian Tune-up" - worth doing a google search as to how to do it. Basically keep your engine revs above 4k for 15mins or so, the extra heat & speed of the valve movement helps to shift some of the carbon

I've tried the Italian tune up, I don't think the car had been run on premium fuel before I bought it so 58,000 miles of petrol with no cleaners or additives (probably).
I'm wondering if it's worth finding somebody reputable and trusted to take it all apart and clean it up.
-
Won't matter what fuel it has been run on as the TFSI is direc injection so fuel additives won't even go near the valves. . .

I have used the used the wynns product on the girlfriends 2.0 fsi as it had a rough idle due to lots of carbon build up. It worked a treat. Audi had a technical bulliten out where they they tried the wynns, snow foam ( American product) and some others to try and clear the carbon problem on their 1.6 fsi engines, an the wynns direct injection 3 ( which is a 2 part product) came out to be the most effective. The only problem I had was the car left a loverly stain on my drive from all the crap that came out the exhaust.

For the sake of £7 it's definitely worth a go then :happy2:
-
I paid about £12 for the twin pack on eBay. It includes the spray for the engine and a fuel additive to help clean the injectors.
-
Thanks guys, lots of things on here I didn't know/realise so will definitely be of use.
Will have a look at the inlet cleaner, my only concern is (as with any cleaner), where does the shat that gets dislodge end up going or is the idea that it just gets burnt away in combustion?
And StevieDubbin what happened to your head through the use of cleaners?
Ta
-
It gets burned in the engine :grin:
You may notice a bit more soot on the tail pipes after. . .

I fully cleaned and rebuild by head around 10k ago and its already getting quite caked up again. Been running a catch can for over 20k so that doesn't help at all.
Took around 5 mins on each valve to get them clean. Old trick of putting the valves in a pillar drill and using brake cleaner soaked scotchbrite.
Pic of my tray once I cleaned the rest of the head out:

Bloody hell, why's the thanks button at the top and not the bottom of the post?! Thanked the wrong post now :grin:
Sounds like it isn't a massive undertaking except I am blessed with neither the expertise or the right tools to be able to do such a job. Is it something any competent specialist can be trusted to do.
Oh and Gray, I thought it would get burned away, I also already have rather sooty tailpipes!

isnt it seafoam btw?

If the cleaners done anything then bloody hell my head must have been a right mess inside. My s3 had three doses of BG44K in 10k miles and inside was still coked up with solid muck. I got fooled by the sales patter I think. Stevie. :drinking:

Seems to be the way forward!
Anybody know where has this service?

Gonna have a go at this as although mine just passed its MOT, the Readings for hydro carbons were 183ppm which is near the limit of 200. For the sake of £85 , I've found a local guy in Hampshire to give this a go.
CO was low at .0.18%
Hydro Carbons PPM 193. Limit 200. :scared:
Car mileage 67k.

183 ppm seems high, Could your map be the cause? Extra fuel to keep EGT's down?
My GTI (Stage 1) went through on the last test with an HC reading of 1 ppm.
I'm not sure about this cleaning but I guess you can post the results :happy2:.

I've sent the guy an email , so wait to hear. How can the remap cause low CO but high HC?..
Wouldn't both me high if the map was at fault? I'm confused, but I know last year my HC on last years mot was the same.
My mpg isn't too great so just me thinking whether I need to act.. Confused :confused:
Idle speed, and performance are no issue so maybe it could be the remap?.I could call Superchips and ask whether a remap could cause higher HC over stock..unless another Tuner on here might know??

Was your CO 0.18% against the limit of 0.20%? My CO was 0% on that same test.
Maybe its ignition timing, could have a look at your plugs? A tuner will help.

Yes..
I have a Full turbo back system installed, and only error I've had in the past on VCDS is Bank1 system too lean on occasion, but not every week, maybe once a month appearing.
I know another Ed30 went on the same Emmisions test the day before, remapped by a different tuner and was well within tolerance , so unsure what to do?

Sports cat? Usually needs a blast round the block to get the cat nice and warm before the MOT.

She normally only does short trips, but I'm going to DMR Friday so that's 140 mile Italian tune coming up :signLOL:
Thanks for your help :happy2:

Good old Italian Tune up :signLOL:
I always give my car a blast before an MOT, probably don't need to with the journeys I do.

Found out although my remap was switched on, I'm running a 200 cell full turbo back Milltek which might be something to do with it.
Also found out the Ed30 I was comparing to, had their emissions taken at idle speed and not between 2500-3500rpm :grin:
I will now sleep soundly, and thanks Hurdy's for your words of wisdom :happy2:
Mine is 200 cell too Steve. :smiley:

I did ask you to ask for Adam, wouldn't have had any probs then. :wink:

Carbon build up issues are no more with the aid of a very simple service with hydrogen technology.
I had mine done, it took 30 mins and she ran like a dream.
Cost £70.00 to remove the carbon build up and left my car with a great increase in performance, power and fuel efficiency.
It ran quieter and smoother.
It cleans the carbon from the air intake right through to the exhaust including turbo's, valves, combustion chamber, inlet manifold etc,DPF(if not too far gone), EGR and CATs...
Very effective, cheap and non invasive service.

Sooo this is your product your marketing?? :innocent:
Welcome to the forum, interesting first post :happy2:
-
Not just me that thought it sounded like a sales pitch then lol
-
Come on guys... theres people out there who are having carbon build up issues and having to way out cash and endure hassle and headache and they have no reason to.
Would you not let people know there is infact something they can do about it that isnt costly or invasive with their pride and joy?
-
Let's hear more about it then :smiley:
-
What more you wanna know? lol.
-
What is the product?
How does it work?
Results?
Etc. . .
Carbon buildup on the TFSI is becoming a common problem so any cheap fix would be welcome, providing it's not snake oil :happy2:
-
The product is based on hydrogen technology, it is a stand alone unit that produces pure hydrogen which is simply fed into the air intake of any combustion engine.
The results after 30 mins are reduced emissions, increased performance, increased power and increased fuel efficiency due to the carbon being removed and the engine now being able to breath as it should.
If DPF is too far gone this will need replacing but this service will certainly help clean it and prevent build up.
Everything else just gets cleaned.
It works by giving the fuel a more complete burn in the combustion chamber and else where the hydrogen molecules are positive and negatively charged and so draw the carbon to it like a magnet, much like cars are painted nowadays.
I have many graphs showing the before and after emissions readings of many different vehicles that all show the same thing, a measurable reduction in emissions we also have many customer testimonials all confirming the results as well as the official MOD report etc.
What more do you need lol.

Can you do it at R-Tech in Hinckley (Leicestershire)?
A before & after Dyno & logging session would be the best proof of the results :happy2:
-
I'm in Stevenage, Hertfordshire so thats a way out for me.
When I've got a bit more time on my hands I'll try and get up there, or, I'm going to be contacting Leicestershire council soon, so maybe I can tie it in.
I'm really busy round the Hertfordshire area at the moment you see.
I use Boston 5 gas diagnostics for the before and after results unless you have your own?

yeah me too, if there is anything that works id like to know cos i dont want to have to take the manifold off ever again!!!!

I noticed this sentence: It works by giving the fuel a more complete burn in the combustion chamber and else where the hydrogen molecules are positive and negatively charged and so draw the carbon to it like a magnet, much like cars are painted nowadays.
We are expressly concerned with carbon build up above the valve seats, ie not in the combustion chamber. Those deposits in the combustion chamber will be burnt off in the normal combustion cycle.
I'm going to remain completely open minded till somebody show's me borescope images of before and after.
My own thoughts on contributing factors and approaches in dealing with this are a catch can may help but not resolve completely (jury is out on this one), cheap fuel might not help, not driving the car at least occasionally throughout it's designed operational rev range, cheap engine oil and extended service intervals may contribute.
My servicing agent (an independent) has seen some cars with circa 40k on the clock have almost completely no build up and others which are heavily deposited at about the same mileage. Their investigation was completed by intake manifold removal.
Direct injection engines are predisposed to this but it seems that there are other influences at play here also. VW have now added a secondary injector to the newer TSI engines to address this, the fuel washes the valve clean.
For info the text below is a direct quote from a VW technical bulletin:
"Gasoline engines with direct injection of the fuel into the combustion chamber, i.e., not into the intake port, suffer especially from the problem of the formation of carbon deposits on components. Carbon deposits form especially in the neck region of intake valves. A more exact analysis of how these carbon deposits form leads to the following result: Oil and fuel constituents first form a sticky coating on the components. These constituents are chiefly long-chain and branched-chain hydrocarbons, i.e., the low-volatility components of oil and fuel. Aromatic compounds adhere especially well. This sticky base coating serves as a base for the deposition of soot particles. This results in a porous surface, in which oil and fuel particles in turn become embedded. This process is a circular process, by which the coating thickness of the carbon deposits continuously increases. Especially in the area of the intake valves, the deposits originate from blowby gases and from internal and external exhaust gas recirculation, and in this process, the blowby gasses and the recirculated exhaust gas come into direct contact with the intake valve.
Especially in the area of the neck of the intake valves, excessive carbon deposits have extremely negative effects for the following reasons: In the case of Otto direct injectors, the successful ignition of the stratified charge depends to a great extent on the correct development of the internal cylinder flow, which ensures reliable transport of the injected fuel to the spark plug to guarantee reliable ignition at the spark plug. However, a coating of carbon deposits in the neck region of the intake valve may interfere so strongly with the tumble flow that ignition failures may occur there as a result. Under certain circumstances, however, ignition failures can lead to irreversible damage of a catalytic converter installed in the exhaust gas tract for purifying the exhaust gas. Furthermore, the coating of carbon deposits in the neck region of the intake valve causes flow resistance, which can lead to significant performance losses due to insufficient cylinder filling, especially in the upper load and speed range of the internal combustion engine. In addition, the carbon deposits in the neck region of the intake valve may prevent correct valve closing, which leads to compression losses and thus sporadic ignition failures. This in turn could irreversibly damage the catalytic converter. There is the potential for small particles to break away from the coating of carbon deposits in the neck region of the intake valve and get into the catalytic converter. These hot particles may then cause secondary reaction and corresponding local damage of the catalytic converter. For example, a hole may be burned in the structure of the catalytic converter.
Globular deposits are found especially on the valve stem downstream from a partition plate in the intake port. Due to the dripping of high-boiling hydrocarbons from the partition plate towards the valve neck or valve stem, globular carbon deposits eventually form there by the sequence of events explained above. These deposits on the valve stem can result in flow deficits due to undesired swirling and turbulent flow around the globular carbon deposits. This may persistently interfere with the formation of stable tumble flow from cycle to cycle.
A possible solution would be to keep these sources of deposits away, for example, from the intake valve, by completely eliminating exhaust gas recirculation and the introduction of blowby gases into the intake port. However with the combustion behavior of modern reciprocating internal combustion engines, at least external exhaust gas recirculation and the introduction of blowby gases into the intake port are absolutely necessary for reasons of emission control and fuel consumption, so that this approach is not possible

Seen the inside of 2.0 cupra r engine, with approx 40k on it, caked up far worse than that. Now could that mean the fuel we get here in N.Ireland is a much s#iter grade, think 97 ron is about the best we can get.

This was inside my 2010 Cupra engine with 35k miles. Not as bad as some but the inlet flaps were badly caked with deposits on both sides of all 4 of them and was a nightmare to clean up.

Right I will offer a free service with this equipment to 1 person on here as long as they report their results on here.
The offer is not open to anyone calling it snake oil.
And I'm not travelling miles out my way either lol.
I'll take you up on that offer. I'll even travel. I'll post a fair, unbiased report on here.
Mk 5 GTI 62K miles
PM me as soon as you have enough posts, and we can sort the details. :happy2:
Okey doke its a deal... :wink:
Great - looking forward to the treatment.
Just for info - I've driven over 500k miles, had 20+ cars, have an engineering and car mechanics background.
I recon I can give a pretty realistic and objective test / report.
And I think quite a few folks on here will be interested in the results!
Cheers. :smiley:

Similar to myself then. Excellent.
My boss, the guy who designed and developed this equipment also designs military hardware for the MOD and designs and adjusts the aerodynamics among other things for Ferrari formula 1 so its not from a mickey mouse background, its genuine well designed equipment that works :innocent:
The equipment itself is built by british aerospace.

This is a seriously fascinating thread - can't wait for the next instalment.
Almost as exciting as BREAKING BAD!

@OSB
are you able to borrow a Boroscope from someone? Or have the treatment done outside a garage that would take a quick look inside the inlet mani?
"Feel" is so subjective, and photo results or a Dyno run is the best proof IMHO :happy2:

I quite agree - feel is very subjective. But, I have a lot of experience and my 'butt dyno' is quite good! Oh don't start knocking it out there!!!I know exactly what was meant.
I would like to borrow a Boroscope and will ask around my local contacts. However, is there someone in the Guildford/Woking area who has one I could use?
An emissions test will tell part of the story and I will do my level best to get accurate readings to post.

Here is what looks like a good guide for cleaning the inlet valves, not sure if it's been posted before. Not sure if it's the same engine as the gti but I was more interested in the product used, seems to do a good job.

Thoughts anyone? Anyone tried this BG induction system cleaner ?

Obviously does a good job, but its so involved and time consuming, why do all that when you can just run pure hydrogen through the air intake for 30 mins?

Can you do it at R-Tech in Hinckley (Leicestershire)?
A before & after Dyno & logging session would be the best proof of the results :happy2:
I'm just waiting for Birmingham city council to get back to me with some available dates, should hear from them soon, as soon as I do I'll let you know and try and book you in the same day :happy2:

K guys, Im no longer working for the manufacturer as I am now offering this service mobile for anyone that's interested.
Check me out on FB as Im offering an introductory fee at the moment but not for long as I'm getting very busy :grin:
Apologies to the guys I was going to demo for, I'm no longer selling the machines as the automotive industry has been taken over by a large vehicle warranty company. This means I will likely be the only mobile service in the country.
edit.. you know the rules. :happy2:
Sry Bro.
