A shot of Redex or any injection cleaner will do the same!

be care full using that spray as the carbon can plug various holes and smooth rough parts within the engine and removing these you can lose compression etc..... i knew someone who did this to a mondeo and fkd the engine up!! (mind it was a ford so no real loss there :grin:)

got to say i have had no problems with it used on it 4 diffrent cars now and it is a lot better than redex as redex only cleans your injectors,

Try taking off the flexi before the throttle body and pour some redex/wynns etc. (its all the same stuff) in there! You will soon see that it doesnt just clean the injectors!

That's the way to do it, after putting a couple of litres of water through the vac hose too. THEN you see smoke..
