| Oct 201692500 mi | replaced headliner in car that detached from car ceiling - bad quality foam | ||
| Nov 2017107000 miUS $50 | check engine light coming on; misfire in cylinders 1,2,4. thought to be ignition coils and plugs and these were all changed; light still came on and car was still somewhat rough; after review on several internet sites, diagnosed problem to be carbon deposits in intake valves; I removed intake manifold and cleaned out all the valve chambers using carburetor cleaner and a wire brush on a drill. carbon deposits were solid and somewhat like paste; deposits were manually cleaned off; intake manifold and fuel pump re-installed; car is now very smooth. [it was a lot of work] Note that many cars and all VWs have direct fuel injection into the cylinders. since the fuel is injected directly into the cylinder and not above the valves, oil from the PCV system will deposit on the upstream side of the intake valves. Thus, if you have a car that has only direct fuel injection and no port injection, it will eventually foul with carbon. Dealer wanted about $900, and thus, I thought it was worth doing my self. After all the time it took, I'm not so sure that doing it myself was worth it. | ||
