Engine Cleaning Treatment

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Checks and maintenance

Using a petroleum-based product helps keep an engine clean. Some effective products on the market help dissolve rubber and dirt deposits when added to fuels or oils. For engine treatment and cleaning air induction systems and injectors without disassembling them for immersion in solvent, use spray or a small tube. Start the engine and spray the liquid directly into the carburettor; alternatively, fill a small container with the additive and, using a tube, draw the solvent by placing it directly in front of the air intake of the carburettor or injection pump. The additive cleans the fuel passages and fuel injectors for up to two years.
