Carbon Cleaning
So who has had it done and was it really worth it on the TSi and FSi motors?
im looking into getting it done and by the looks of the pics im sure cleaning off all that kak from the valves would be a good thing, but damage to the valve or any negative effects?

Also improves economy. Can't think of anything negative unless put back incorrectly.

Carbon Doctor charges around 2.5k to get this done and they replace injector seals, all the gaskets etc etc.

Re: Carbon Cleaning
Advisable to do carbon cleaning on import motor before conversion?
Anyone know where to do so in Cape Town... I'm sorry if this is thread hijacking. It'll add info for the topic

Re: Carbon Cleaning
Meant to quote your post. This build up is common on Direct Injection motors. On a regular port injection motor (such as a 2.0 8v or even a 1.4 Citigolf motor) you really don't have much to worry about.

Re: Carbon Cleaning
Depends what TSI, there were TSI's as early as the MkV but with VW not being able to stick to any sort of logical naming convention, recent FSi's are also TSI's, so really **** knows Not sure if modern direct injection VAG motors have the additional injector setup?mk2-phreak wrote:TSI motor count as second gen?Neuk wrote:Most second or third generation direct injection motors have an additional injector to try and curb the issue from what I have heard...mk2-phreak wrote:It's common on ALL Direct Injection motors.

The boxer motor on the 86 (yes yes you can all laugh at how "slow" it is) has both port and direct injection

Re: Carbon Cleaning
I don't think that they did, the MkVI GTi (EA113?) was an adaptation of the MkV GTi (EA888?) motor and not a total redesign. Proves my point though, the original TSI was a twincharged engine, the FSi was an N/A and the turbo FSi was TFSi or FSi T. Now, none of it makes sense...mk2-phreak wrote:Golf 6 TSINeuk wrote:Depends what TSI, there were TSI's as early as the MkV but with VW not being able to stick to any sort of logical naming convention, recent FSi's are also TSI's, so really **** knows Not sure if modern direct injection VAG motors have the additional injector setup?mk2-phreak wrote:TSI motor count as second gen?Neuk wrote: Most second or third generation direct injection motors have an additional injector to try and curb the issue from what I have heard...
