Clean EGR Valve Decarbonize Turbo DPF MPG Limp Mode Mr Muscle VW 1.9TDI Sharan Galaxy Alhambra

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

I used Oven Cleaner Foam in My Air Intake With Engine Running, to clean out carbon fuel deposits from EGR Valve, Cooler, Inlet Manifold, Actuator Gate Valve, Catalytic Converter, without taking my VW Sharan 1.9 TDI to bits.
The Product I used is Mr Muscle, which cost £1.89. It consists of Sodium Hydroxide, which is very effective at removing baked on carbon and unburned fuel exhaust deposits that block up the EGR valve and prevent adequate air intake. I was confident to do this when I saw it being used to clean a turbocharger and waste gate valve, so I took it to the next level by spraying it directly into the Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve through the air intake pipe.
Seafoam contains potassium hydroxide and is sprayed directly into a running engine through the air inlet. It reacts with aluminium just like MR Muscle Oven cleaner, which contains sodium hydroxide does.
Our car has an intermittent problem with going into limp mode and although it has improved greatly, it still goes into limp mode and the engine management light comes on.
After this treatment, there has been a huge improvement in performance and economy over 800 miles of motorway driving. We were getting around 32-36 miles per gallon. Now we are getting 44.5 miles per gallon, although significantly less than this around town.

    @Andrew K Fletcher I have just done your method and I can confirm NO MORE OVERBOOST LIMP MODE. I tweaked your method slightly. I sprayed into the air intake just after the MAF. Tried both Smart straw up and down - I preferred it down for the spray pattern. I also then had a garden sprayer (same as the Revive Turbo cleaner) which I removed the internal straw and sprayed 750ml of tap water inverted to "rinse" it through. Went for a 20 mile drive and it now feels more eager and boosting correctly throughout the RPM range. Before I did this method I put the car up on the ramps to confirm that infact the boost actuator for the turbo vanes was very stiff. For reference this was on a 2006 Skoda Octavia 140PD BKD engine code with 153k miles. Thank you again.

It Cleans all the intake system without disassembly Turbo, EGR valve, Flaps, etc. The spray is a mix of cetone and thinner. It is applied just after MAF sensor. The turbo, EGR and the engine performs much better after Liqui Moly 5168

    The reason you DO NOT do this as when the carbon deposits release themselves, they'll get chucked around the gubbins and could potentially cause more problems. The best way to do this is to take the EGR off and do it there. Whilst you're at it, might as well take the turbo off and clean all the carbon deposits off there too. Sure its not as quick, but its doing the job right. Treat these engines well and they'll do 500,000 miles without a problem.

As it probably only has a year or so left in it. It’s probably a cost effective way of fixing his problem.

The intake look terrible whit a thick layer of burnt oil almost like a mass of rubber and that's what messes the egr-valve up.

    I have a 2008 seat altea xl & have changed the brake master cylinder. While doing that, I thought I'd clean the egr & asv while I'm about it as they had to come off to gain access to the brake master cylinder. I cleaned them with brake cleaner & a small brass brush & a toothbrush. Everything went back on with no problems until after about 15 miles when the emission service center warning flashed up. Plugged in my scan tool, & sure enough the P0401 egr flow insufficient code reared its ugly head. Off with the asv, & egr again & re installed using hi temp gasket sealant & back out. Same thing.I did a fault code reset both times. I reckon I must have dislodged some shite that ended up down the intake manifold when I took it apart the first time. I used your method but only as far as step one. Mine is a 1.9 tdi, so no need to go behind the maf sensor as the hose to the asv/egr /intake is on the left hand side. I used the smart straw with some pfte tape wound around so I could slide 800 mm of 3mm inside diameter clear pipe over the top. I marked on the hose with permanent marker where the far corner of the intake was, & fed the pipe in. Good shake of the can, slide the straw into the tube, proceed to foam the intake, slowly withdrawing the tube as I sprayed, as to completely get all 4 ports. Once the tube was pulled all the way out past the anti shudder valve, you could see the filth in the foam right away. I left it to work its magic for 1hour & 45 minutes, then I wiped the inlet stubb of the asv and replaced the duct. I have the clips on mine that you just pull out a small amount with a screwdriver or pliers. Put the bonnet down, said a little prayer as I have read the negative comments as well as the positives, then turned the key, and........... Away she went! Just be ready to feed in a few revs as soon as it fires up & hold it at a steady 2000rpm for at least 20 seconds or so to make sure you don't stall the engine. You want to make sure you burn up all that liquified sheiser in the combustion chambers. I let it idle for a few minutes and then took it out for a 20 mile run on the dual carriageway. This will help to poop out any unwanted shit in the egr system. Got home and no more fault codes. This method DOES WORK! I saw no need to use water, as a good run will burn & blow all the crud anyway. I see no evidence of aluminum being eaten or seals or anything like that. You would need to soak it in a vat of the stuff for a year to do any lasting damage. As for seals? Your rubber gloves would melt would they not? Just use some common sense & save yourself some money. If you are worried about your aluminum being eaten in front of your very eyes, then you can neutralize the sodium hydroxide with vinegar. Just spray a fine mist down to intake as you would with the water technique. I saw no reason to do this myself, as I used 1/4 of a can ,if that. The foam is flammable anyway,& is just going to be burned up by the engine itself. My car is a work hack with 163000 miles on it ,so I thought I'd roll the dice, having never tried this technique before. I tweaked the method to suit my application & it worked very well. If my turbo gives me any aggravation , then it will get the same treatment as the egr system now I am confident that it works. Most of the negative comments are coming from people who have never tried this technique, as well as thinking that sodium hydroxide is an acid. It is alkaline in fact, so do a bit of research before slagging off someone for trying to help out others.

    If you also did a bit of research, you would know that sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) is an alkali and a strong base and the amphoteric properties of aluminium means it dissolves in both acids and bases. Moreover, the reaction with aluminium and caustic soda produces hydrogen gas, which is somewhat explosive.

Time consuming, but less risky. I think you are making the assumption that people are not savvy enough to be able to do the job the way it is supposed to be done.

The first car I had that needed cleaning out cost me £150. 2005 Astra, 3 years ago, so much the same age as yours is now. The seller had tried changing the sensor etc to try and get life back into the car but gave up and sold it cheap. All the more reason to spend time on it. Right enough, nobody is forcing me to use oven cleaner, but you should perhaps wear a pinny while you use it. It works better with one. Marigold gloves, too.

    Brilliant! We have been doing this to our tractors on our farm for 25 years! Oven cleaner of most types does degrade the carbon composites, grabs and binds to it, and the first few minutes of the engine running blows out the exhaust. The only problem is it burns like fuck when it hits skin. But as we have expendable farm workers, and can replace them (or hide there bodies as we often do) whenever the next moron shows his face at our door! Our local diesel fitter says it has absolutely no effect or damage to the engine. Done it on my transit van when it started losing power. Now its up to full power and happily cutting up innocent motorists on the M40! Yeehaaa, you middle lane mother fucking road hogs!!!

    Yea, but thats were the problem lies, The intake manifold crusts up with carbon and because this manifold is conected to the head of the engine, the piston rings tend to wear from all the gunk up there. This causes the engine to run very non-economically due to the fact that it cant get the correct ratio of air and fuel. And when that happens, the engine management system gets the signal to pump in more diesel to keep the engine cool, thus causing more fumes which are then run through (unburned properly) the egr. .. So its a vicious cycle until the engine wears out and causes C.E.F. (catastrophic engine failure)
