Who has split and cleaned there lance on here?
I split my lace today even tho it was working ok and saw that it could do with a good clean its even rusting in some parts.
What do you leave it in to clean the inside and remove what looks to be limescale.

I have done mine.
Limescale can be removed with Wonder Wheels. The gungy scum of Soap can be removed with a solvent, I soaked the filter in petrol for a few days.

I've done it too. Used Viakal on lime scale and as above, soaked other bits in a bowl of petrol. It worked a treat.
Have you completely disassembled it? If you do, you'll need a vice and definitely need to use some thread lock fluid when reassembling it.
This is a good guide

I followed the Autobrite guide detailed above.
Spoke to Mark the other day, he detailed my Abarth 595, and he does replacement filters if it's too far gone
