td4 inlet manifold

cwinossett · Sep 10, 2008

Does any one know the best stuff to use to de gunge a td4 inlet manifold got a spare one that is as bad as mine so leaving to soak is no problem.

Hi,
Fill it with traffic film remover, stuff they run through steam cleaners, leave for a few hours and a good hot pressure wash should do the job. Also coca cola is a good carbon remover (due to the high acid content) Or trip down to a local garage that has pay as you go pressure washers.

swarfega has been reported to give good results 'cos it's a gel it can be left in place without running off

Paraffin is usually quite good, or look & see what companies like Frost etc. sell for use in parts washers tubs.

Just bought an EGR bypass and removed the old EGR valve. Can not believe the amount of gunge in the old valve & especially the inlet manifold, cms thick.

Did you remove the inlet manifold to clean it, if so was this difficult? please can you let me know how you did it.

Thanks,

Hi Ming,

Changed all those bits also. Now I have the Inlet manifold off, using oven cleaner to clear the gunge. Already cleaned and HP Washed once, it is coming out, but giving it one more treatment.

Unbelievable the amount of sh... inside, and even in the actual inlets towards the injectors - but don't really want to touch that area.

What a great design!!!!!

Ming,

Got it back together, took about four goes with the oven cleaner to get it properly clean but I WOULD recommend this method of cleaning.

EGR bypass is now fitted. All is running smoother than ever, can't wait to go for a longer drive!

Thanks,

Jon.
