GDI INTAKE VALVE CARBON BUILDUP

What is it?

Vehicles with direct injection no longer have the fuel injector placed upstream of the intake valves.  This means there is no longer a washing action by the fuel over the intake valves.  This causes carbon deposits to build up on the intake valve robbing power, fuel economy, and even causing further carbon build up in piston rings which leads to oil consumption problems.

Is my car affected?

Any vehicle with "GDI" gasoline direct injection.  Most European vehicles from the mid 2000's and newer.  Please feel free to call us and ask any questions, anytime. 

What to do about it?

We offer two services, the traditional walnut shell blasting technique, which is costly and requires the removal of the intake manifold or a newer system where we utilize BG Product's Platinum tool and perform an Induction Cleaning Service.  This is much faster and at less cost.
