Good day chaps,
Just had this strange happening occur. Yesterday went for a mountain with a couple of my friends (one has a Stage 2 Seat Cupra MK2, other a Renault Megane RS Stage 1, another small frame turbo e46) and I went through my whole WMI reservoir on about a 20 mile hill climb route.
For fun I filled up the WMI reservoir with a 60% meth and 40% water mix, everytime I let off the gas the car would spit flames and do some bangs (it would go BAM). (I know you're not supposed to go higher than 50/50 but I thought why not, a one time occurance)
All was well, had great fun. When I arrived back home I went to empty the catch can (hadn't done so in a week) and to my suprise it was nearly empty! There was a tiny bit of gunk at the bottom but the walls of the catch can and the top were completely clean. Usually it would be covered in the typical PCV gunk.
So I decided to investigate a bit further and removed the whole PCV piping and so my suprise they were all clean! No gunk, nothing! As if it were brand new.
Now I know WMI steam cleans the pistons and cylinder walls and valves and throttle body and eliminates carbon deposits but cleaning out the PCV system? I haven't read or heard about that so far.
I haven't changed anything to the car. I am not particularly worried but just sharing something that happened and I found a bit strange. Anyone experience something similar??
Cheers
