All Things Mk5 > Mk5 General Area
lets discuss 2.0TFSI crankcase ventilation : PCV options etc
Deako:
It'll mostly be on the inlet valves, so a good start would be getting the inlet manifold off and just getting your hands dirty with some cleaner.
snapey:
I'm not convinced that the sea foam will do a lot let alone anything. There’s no way that any amount of fluid left to its own accord will shift the baked on carbon around the valves. It'll take some serious pressure and for it to be directed at a precise point to even shift it.
Easiest comparison that I can think of making is by taking a car that’s done 40K miles and hasn't ever had the exhaust cleaned, is spraying it over with some shampoo going to do anything? No you need to scrub the git back to get it back to its best.
In theory I'd love to say it'd work but without actually seeing any evidence of it doing anything I'm not convinced.

candy turbo:
in my mk2 rs escort days i used to use holts engine flush before an oil change and tbh it worked really well , dont know if you could use it in a modern engine though ? :wink:
BMX:
pardon my ignorance but is this why my ed30 has oil round the cap regularly, if so could you just buy a catch can and make your own tap offs etc would be alot cheeper
candy turbo:
^^^^^^^^ the kit is only £100 cant be worth trying to make your own ???
