2.0T Carbon cleaning DIY - A3/A4/GTI 

Glad there’s a growing love for the A3s

Did this service with my brother, takes forever but if you haven’t done it on your car it’s a yet. Mine gained some serious power back. Super happy with the results. And saved some money along the way

Yooo bro thank you so much for making this video. I have a 2012 white 😆 a3 4 door hatch 6spd manual that i absolutely love. Last week the car started to misfire on cold starts. Check engine light came on with random misfire. Changed the spark plugs, coil packs, fuel filter with only minimal improvements. This is definitely something i have to do right away. Definitely subscribing and gonna check out the other videos 🙏

You wanna do my 4.2? Lol Only suggestion for the vid would be to show a bit of how you actually did the cleaning 😊

Ty crushing it again !.. Awesome video.. After carbon cleaning, butt dyno readings were 12 Hp 15 Tq more than previously lmao .. You def can feel a difference for sure , once cleaned but I have also seen alot worse than yours..

Congrats on 700!

a pcv delete and oil catch can also helps.

Why would you not invest in a crappy harbor freight suction blaster and actually use walnut media to clean it up after you soak with cleaner and pick the stub urn stuff out ? I mean the whole point of the walnut media is it doesn't harm anything as long as you remove most of it from the cylinder what lil bit you cannot get that might be residing on the rings is insubstantial. The biggest concern would be blowing it back in your face while cleaning but you would have a rag over the port when doing it .. For other vehicles I tear the heads off and bed blast the valves etc.. but for this it would be a major pain. I would run injection cleaner from a suction canister through the pcv intake port for future maintenance and run a catch can between pcv and intake.

saved this for later. great video

Preety good,I will have to do this on my S3.Tnx for the video! 😁

I appreciate the effort gone in to the vid I may have to do this my self on my 1.8tfsi its stage 2 and just serviced the hole car and treated the fule it's still jerking after acceleration I was wondering how long did it take you to clean the valves and get the car back on the road

I have an inconsistent random misfire in cylinder 4 I replace coils, spark plugs, and that one injector and still misfiring. Going to do this next. (Update) did the carbon clean up replaced all 4 injectors and replaced the spark plugs again with OEM spark plugs and still rough idle and misfire cyl 4. I ended up selling the car because it was taking a shit on me as soon as it hit 100k miles didn’t want the car anymore.

Did you just use the picks to take out the carbon, or did you use a vacuum? Just wanna know how you got the actual carbon out.

So that’s why my epc light came in

Should keep ur original intake. Not a fan of the cold air intake.

Good video man very descriptive

I have an 2015 A5 2.0TFSI ea888 gen 2 @67K miles. No symptoms but y'all think it needs carbon clean? Would i be able to see with a boroscope by removing spark plugs?

How did u clean out the carbon lol mine is stuck on but after I scrape it the carbons just sitting there

Would have been a good video if you actually showed how you cleaned the intake

What tools did you use? Did you use wire brushes?

do they make a pvc catch can mod to stop oil from getting to the valves and flaps ?

Should I do this for my 2011 A3 TDI 2.0l

I have water meth installed in my S3 8p, I'm having the valve cleaning done in a few weeks time. I'll let you know if it made a difference once I see what condition the valves are in

Hey there, do you do this service in Vancouver? I have an A4 B8, would love to have you do this for me.

Where’s the light?

How did you turn your engine? Do you have to do a 360 afterwards to get it to its original position?

How did you get that middle bolt underneath out?

Ok so how do I get top dead center ?

They 7mm

that guy is a connector lol

why not just seafoam it without taking anything out but the vacuum hose.

that is super tedious... not sure i can do it without breaking stuff, losing bolts, getting frustrated by stuff that won't come out, our striped screw heads.

I'll just pay $1,000😂
