i definitely recommend this to everyone, this is the result from my 2001 GTi so i dread to think what some others are like!

basically i had to take my inlet manifold off whilst checking for an air leak, ran my finger around the inside of one of the tunnels and it came out covered in a black tar like substance all around the inside.

not only is this not good in any way for the engine, surely all that grot must restrict the air flow a great degree.

so, i dunked it in a tub of a strong solution of industrial degreaser/cleaner, i put a full 5 litres of the stuff in, probably dont need that much though.

left it there 24 hours then scrubbed the insides with a large pipe cleaning brush.

look at the water that was left over

that water was clear before.. and you can visibly see the scum floating on the top.

anyway i then rinsed it out THOROUGHLY and its now drying out overnight in the airing cupboard Smile

ill keep this thread updated with whether it makes any difference to the drive but im more than happy at the moment knowing that all that crap isnt going to be going through my engine!

definitely recommend it to anybody else

i suppose the manifold will get dirty very soon lol unless you got the oil catch tank.

Was a bit of a pain but got there in the end.

Had to remove the throttle body, wiring housing, fuel rail & injectors.

This is from the 206 I'm breaking, decided to take it off the failed engine before playing with the good one.
I'll swap it to the one on the other 206 tomorrow night and see if that works, the seals look alright on this one.

On the far right in this picture is a tiny bit of silver hose,

You need to unclip it for the intake manifold to come off.

Took me about 45 mins to remove, some bolts are a bit hard to reach.

I think just the knowledge of having a cleaner engine is nice
