Post by: streetbeefGTI on November 17, 2011, 01:28:34 pm

hey guys i have found some wynns direct injection valve cleaner and it is in an aerosol spray, my question was do i take a pipe off the pcv and spray in through there with the engine running??  i have no idea where to spray it.  can anyone help me out?  thanks.

I'm thinking of trying this stuff.

I think (from what ive read) you will get a rough idle while the PCV is off but that looks like the best way to get it in to the inlet.

Let us know how you get on!  :happy2:

I did mine by taking the sensor out directly above the throttle body, should give equal distribution between all the vavles,

But i used redex rather than a spray as the link below shows.

they use something called seafoam in the states, seems a good idea, dont worry about a little reving, it takes quite a bit of load to create boost whilst not in gear. If i remember the redex can cause a bit of white smoke for a mile or 2, they used to say to put a teaspoon down the sparkplug hole to decoke the rings and crown.
