Tfsi de-coke in the northeast England

[dandav1985]

Hello people,

my S3 has now done 45000 miles and as I like to keep on top of things I was just wondering what people are using to de-coke the inlet valves on the TFSI engines..........as I'm aware terraclean is no good for the direct injection engine. So are you people doing it yourselfs? Looks a big job Or taking to a reputable garage........are there any in the North East of England offering this service?

Once ce again cheers in advance.

I too am struggling to find someone local to me who could perform this proceedure.... and im in the southwest. Maybe we could do with a thread of garages around the UK by location so people can find one easily.

I'm down south so can't help with places local to you.

It's not a big job and not horribly expensive but is definitely worth doing if you've looked at my thread.

There are a few kits for DIY use but a professional job is best.

Easy solution, just spit peanut shells down the intake orifice while drunk, covered in grease and wearing various gaskets as ceremonial dress.

Or a voodoo dance, I hear a voodoo dance works well.

lol you said orifice.

Have you tried getting a quote from a local BMW garage if you can't find an independant to take on the work?

Don't even get me started on flanges.

BMW S3, that's a new one on me

Lol the reason for the suggestion is because BMW seem to offer this service in house at a decent price according to other forums...

I can suggest a garage in the Northwest but it depends how far you are willing to travel.

Where in the NW I have been looking to get this done?

Awesome GTI mate, not far from you at all. They offer it for £179.

Interesting. Might ask my BMW dealer about this.
