I've used both of them. About 20k apart with a 51k turbo engine. It's a 2015 VW beetle. 1.8t TSI gen 3 DI. I used the Sea Foam first at about 30k-+. I didn't get the big smoke show either. Heat soaked 15-20 minutes like it says. It says to drive Spiritly for 10-15 minutes. I drove it "Spiritly" lol. Plus about 80-+ highway speed for several miles to get the engine hot enough to burn the residue. When I first got on it, it popped loud and a big puff of smoke came out. They both say safe for O2 sensors. Both of the cleaners through code's and I had to clear them. Both times they never came back. I don't know how they cleaned the turbo or the valves and the pistons. I did notice that the ideal was smother. Fuel mileage didn't change. It ran great before the cleaners. So I can't say that it's improved. I'm fixing to change the plugs. So I'm going to try to look inside.

Hello Nate, Since the intake manifold is at the front of the car and not towards the firewall, I would like to suggest that you take it off and spray the chemicals directly onto the intake valves. That is what I did to my warm 2.4L ecotec engine. After a 30 minute drive back home, I removed the intake manifold and used Johnsen's Carb/Intake Air Clearner. The results were spectacular. It cleared the P0106 issue that I was having. Cheers, H.

Thank you for your video. But I think maybe you were running the RPMs a little too high. The reason why I say this is because the back of the valve didn't look like they were cleaned which means you were sucking the air in faster than it was able to get to the back of the valve. Still a very good video.

Problem with your solution is that chemical cleaners get injected DOWNSTREAM of the problem area so no cleaning will occur. Otherwise Redline or Lucas gas additives would work. They DONT work in GDI engines. On GDI engines the only option is physical removal like one of these products. It sounds like a catch can may be the solution for GDI engines.

@nordicpride9708 4 жыл бұрын

Nun Ya The RedLine which has the highest concentration of PEA ( the chemical which cleans carbon) still has a positive effect in a GDI motor. The injectors benefit from a cleaning, and the upper cylinder lube definitely helps to reduce cylinder wear. PEA has been proven to even clean pistons. A small amount of reversion happens in DI motors which in fact does do a small amount of cleaning to the valves. It’s been studied in several white papers.

@GIGABACHI 4 жыл бұрын

@@MrFatcat23 when I said "maintain" I meant removing the intake manifold periodically (once a year ?) and spray blast the intake valves, NOT just buy some over the counter fuel injector cleaner, drop it in the tank and call it a solution.

The both made a difference, but not really as much as I would have liked to see myself. There is still too much restriction in the intake and in particular some were worse than others which is likely to induce differences between cylinders. Depending on the condition I tend to use a range of things from pure water, carby cleaner or solvents to regular degreaser... Its a good video, well done and the comparison is kept consistent, I like that and the effort you've put in. I saw the catch can which will clean up the intake, but its a dirty intake typical of a direct injection.. I would think that using water injection all the time, would yield the best results in this situation as the constant trickle of water going in would clean and keep clean the intakes as well as boost power slightly..

The CRC continues to work for another 1,000 miles of driving. If you want to do a back to back treatment, CRC tells you to wait until you've put at least 1,000 miles on the car or you're wasting time/money. I would assume Sea Foam will also continue to work for a period after the treatment.

Nate, what I would like to see is an OIL treatment with a volatile cleaning chemical which would clean the backs of the valves when vaporized in a hot crankcase while driving. Either continuously, or when added episodically at intervals for periodic valve cleanings. Wonder if the chemists are working on such a cleaner?

@iNFiNiTE69 5 жыл бұрын

Since you took the time to directly access the valves for your before and after pics, I wonder why you didn't try a 3rd treatment but instead just spraying the CRC directly onto the valves and letting the PEA soak and dissolve more of the carbon. Also, CRC says it's PEA continues to dissolve carbon for up to a week after the initial treatment. Might be good to see an after shot a week after.

Thanks, I believe that CRC did the best job. I wonder if their is a pre soak that could be used like over night before either one of these are used. In the days of naturally asperated carburetors not injected fuel I would dump a small can of valve topping oil down the carb while the engine was running and quickly shut it off. Then put one in the tank. We would never have carbon anywhere in the intake or combustion chamber. Oh we blew a few up street racing and tore them down to see. No carbon any wear. But never knew whether it was the presoak or the use of both.

Looks like CRC for the win! They should sponsor you because you just sold a can of it! Going to be switching from seafoam to this on my MK6 GTI (w TSI 2.0). ALSO word of advice to all: PLEASE MAKE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR OIL VERY SOON AFTER DONIG THIS! The carbon might get dissolved or burned off but the byproduct ends up in your oil and reduce its protection of the engine. Also, using a catch can seems to help as well.

On a gm 3.6 di you can remove the intake in about 15-20 minutes and have direct access to the valves. If you do this while the engine is running chunks of carbon can be sucked in and scar the cylinder wall

I was thinking the same thing, those are sum pretty big chunks of carbon to be cleaning this way and just keeping fingers crossed it all comes out w/ the exhaust! I've also seen other videos similar to this where their cel comes on after cleaning sometime b/c the o2 sensors get all caked up with carbon buildup during this cleaning process! I think I will just spend the extra $ to have the heads pulled & walnut blasted on mine...

The critical valve area that needs to be clean is the valve seat area, where the valve seals the cylinder when it is closed. Not just the valve stems. If a piece of carbon jambs between the valve seat in the head and the valve, compression will be lost, resulting in power loss and lower fuel economy. From what I can see from your pictures, that critical area on each of the valves was still carbonated up.

@2004redspecv Жыл бұрын

this was only one treatment that should be repeated at every oil change until the carbon is sufficiently cleaned up and as for a piece of carbon getting between the valve and the seat I can see what you mean but as you do this to an already running engine the valves are continuously opening and closing so even if it jammed a small piece of carbon in there it would most likely break free during the cycle or at least be crushed by the spring weight and burnt up in the ignition process and what remains get cooked apart in the exhaust components.

It does seem they're here to stay. Which might mean the hassle of a catch can could be worth it, to prevent carbon from ever depositing on the valves in the first place. Pre-GDI cars will only last us so long (I'm stretching my 2000 Focus as far as it'll go).
