looking on google it would seem the best way to do it is leave to soak in a 50/50 mixture of degreaser overnight then use brake cleaner and a brush on a wire to clean the tunnels. then rinse and leave to thoroughly dry.
might paint mine silver or gloss black whilst it off..

Could always stick a 180 inlet on in its place.
I'll give it a clean later.

Been serviced regularly?
Not leaking on the inlet manifold is it?
Any fault codes?
Might be the camshaft thats worn??

Yep, full service history and most done by a dealer.
It's making a slight hiss when you rev it. So I'm swapping the inlet this evening.
I tried starting it at lunchtime and it was pretty reluctant. I'll get a video up later.
Had a scan and came up as a faulty ICV which I've since replaced.

Didn't have time to work on the cars last night.
I'm just uploading a video.
I ran the car this morning. It struggled to start but it did, then after 1 min the engine died...

I'll probably take you up on your offer if I need a new one, but I might swap the entire intake manifold.
The video is still uploading, the one day I forget the lead to my phone...

That is the original 2001 ICV, the one I've replaced it with seemed to work fine on a 1999 GTi, gave a it a clean too.
