Bro you saved me 1500 dollars. Appreciate the video. Car sounds and feels amazing again

Only video that I've seen so far that showed the left side of the engine. Great job my friend.

I'm really impressed by the visual detail of this video.

We definitely need videos about FSI engines, thank you man! Gotta do this soon

Been waiting for this video! 🙌🏼

Thank you so much for making this dude, I was looking everywhere for a 2.0T fsi video for intake manifold replacement, I own an 07 GLI so this was just perfect

I don't even have my mkv anymore, and I still liked watching your video.

Really great video! I would have no idea how to do this by myself but I think I could handle it after seeing this. Great stuff

Great vid! Doing the oil filter housing and coolet gaskets now, will pull the intake and do this when I upgrade the injectors! Well done! Fellow NJ MK5 guy too!

Just did this last weekend using this video as a guideline. There were a few very minor differences on my Passat, but otherwise, great video and I'm not sure I would've attempted without it. Great job, guys. Thanks for all the help. Smoother idle, increased throttle response, and significantly decreased my single-mass flywheel rattle.. but man, getting those two rear throttle body bolts back in is a pain in the ass. Note: I grabbed an Ullman CHP6-L set off of Amazon and it was *amazing* at picking away the gunk. Edit: also, the two hoses you remove @ 7:15, I just disconnected from the rubber hoses running to the left and left them attached to the manifold - seemed to be much easier than disconnecting the 14mm connector like how you did in the video.

Just watched and subscribed! GREAT job! I have a 6spd manual '07 Passat w/225k and no doubt it needs this done. Thanks so much for this video 👍

You explained this awesomely man. Thank you so much, for real. People like you are what youtube great

Finally someone with brains

So satisfying to watch an engine breathe again and have someone who knows what they are talking about post a real world video

I’m going to be doing this on my mk6 golf r and there’s no real good videos for it. With the mk5 gti engine being the most similar this video is incredibly helpful.

So happy to find this video on an fsi! I'm tackling a misfire issue and the only thing left is carbon clean or head gasket lol

Good work young man it’s clear you know your stuff, I’ve subscribed 👍🏻

not looking forward to this job, but damn im glad I found this video, well documented and explained, keep it up man!

you do everything bro 😭 grateful for u always popping up when i’m looking for how to fix up my gti 💯💯🔥🔥🔥

Well done. I'll be tackling this job next week. Thanks.

Hi ty for posting this video for us women who have not a clue of what maintenance is properly done when dropping a car off to "mechanic". Ok, I was told that I needed this repair for my 2010 VW CC ...the initial complaint was sluggish acceleration, and transmission fluid low indicator on dash board. Mechanic insist it was not the transmission but intake. So I left my car with, and gave money for the part to be replaced. Went back a week later to see why the lengthy stay and was told that one of those cards you soaked in the cup had melted into the engine some and needs to be cleaned out for proper air intake. One week later, I went back and was told they still couldn't get all of the "melting out" but it's running better. In my opinion it's worse. No acceleration...a little knocking sound and engine hesitate in first couple of gear then smoothes out. I took my car home in this condition,not trusting the work that had been done. Then I had auto zone do a quick diagnostic and code came back as alternator is dead and my fairly new battery is what's keeping the car running. I'm hoping that you could please explain what might be the issues or if that even makes sense? Help🙏🙃

Thanks for taking your time. Helped a lot

The best video for my engine.. thank you.

Nice tutorial guys, yet again

Subscribed because damn you helped me figure it out without taking the bumper off n without me taking it to the shop.

Great video man🔥🔥 💯 this is exactly how my old boss taught me on a b7 a4 2.0t FSI motor! Good stuff man. I can also add to not overtighten the fuel line while reconnecting it b/c it’s just aluminum! Other than that ur are correct it’s not for the average diy-er.

Great video man. I didn't see or hear anything about the manifold support (might have missed it) it's the big shinny thing under there that runs vertical. The most fun part of the job lol. The support is held on to the manifold by a 10mm socket dead center on the bottom side. That connects to the block with a 10mm triple square. The only way you're getting to that is with a 1/4 extention with a woble on the end. Take your time!! Thanks for the video hope this helps someone.

That's awesome!!! Very informative!!

Excellent video !

Damn, low mileage GTI. Haha my GLI is getting up to it's 3rd service, got the mani broke free but couldn't get it all the way off, this video showed me what I was doing wrong. God bless

You sir... Are my new hero...

Great video! Just one advice though, I wouldn't scrape the valve with pick, use a bundled zip-tie to make it strong yet won't scratch the valves and use that to scrape off the carbon. Dip the bundled zip-ties in a cup of seafoam and just scrape it off. Works great.

U got a new subs here!🙌🏻 just bought a 2006 FSI 2.0t Audi A3 and I’m the noob now, so hope ur channel have a ton of videos to me lol I want to get my Betsy running like a charm. It’s a 187k miles engine btw 😬 we’ll see how long it’ll last, I’m here to make it ever hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha😂 Thx once again, I’m open for any suggestions as a noob with a 187k miles fsi engine lol

Great Video! impressive work!

Attempting the same on my 08 Jetta Wolfgang , nice video.

There are now tool sets available for sandblasting the carbon from the valves with pretty much the same level of disassembly work as you did. A special sand is used for this which can be chemically dissolved and neutralized after the work so it doesn't get into the cylinders and do any damage there. Some also use walnut for this. The final effect is spotless and looks pretty much like in the new engine.

Keep making more...I have TFSI engine as well.

@ratchetwrenches, excellent video! Quick question! At the 7:15 mark where you remove the 14mm nut for the high pressure side fuel line that plugs into the fuel rail. Do you think it at all possible to remove that whole fuel line without removing the whole manifold? At 10:32 I see the whole line on the back side of the manifold and I’m just not sure if the line is replaceable with the manifold still in. The reason I ask is because my fuel line has developed a pinhole leak right before the 17mm nut by the HPFP. Thanks for your time!

Hi, Great video Thanks! Myself have a A3 FSI 18 0000 Km gone for as many years also! I fixt carbon build wtih Italinan Way! Engine run fine last year no problem with build up carbon! Took a long trip for1500km last year in Sweden, pretty fast all the time those days, aver. 120Km/h all time! After that car became faster and as new drivin? I think my fast and long trip burnd out most carbon in, engine cleand it self! Thanks, Johnny D Bergh

Brilliant video man 👌

when life gives you lemons...you just get them outta the way....great video, thanks...

Would i know the valves are completely closed? They look closed but idk if they could theoretically be a mm closer. 3 looks closed and the right one was open. Also, what do you think about using a power washer for cleaning out the manifold?

Brilliant finally found a video that shows taking off the fuel line so I can do banjo bolt delete 😊 did you use a 14mm spanner to get that bolt off or a crows foot spanner? Looks like the hardest part

Excellent video

I've already liked downloaded and subbed

Mine started leaking fuel underneath the manifold , I replaced the gasket. The injectors didn't come off. Any suggestions to what it might be?

Dude i seen this a bit late. I sent my gti for it to be done and wad charged 700. I wish i would of ran into this video earlier

Great video! Are there little clips on the injectors you have to push in to remove the manifold with the injectors? I'm yanking on my and it just won't budge. I'm rocking back and forth, etc. Thanks!

Hello mate happy new year! How many kms you had before the cleaning and also what was the symptoms that make you clean them? Thank you!

Great video! I just put runner flap deletes in my mk6 golf r. Gonna get the apr stage 2+ tune Wednesday.

Finally a tutorial for fsi! Thanks man this is a quick & informative tutorial. ill be giving this a try when I have the time. I noticed u blocked the pcv but didn’t see any catch can? Does blockoff plate need a catch can? (That’s to my understanding) Anyhow, well done and keep the Fsi tutorials up please 👍🏼, you’re our only fsi hope so far 😎

really good job guys.

Bruv,... youa Genius!

I'm reading a write up on this, and its saying you have to use vagcom on the throttle body to adjust it, is that true?

What about using copper? Like bundled up in the end of a drill? Softer than steel, yet abrasive. Thoughts?

Do your thermostat while your in there & it would also be a good idea to have your injectors cleaned & flow matched 👍nice upload

Idk if you will see this but im having car issues with my 2014 vw jetta turbo and it keeps giving me cylinder 3 misfire and the spark plug and coil pack were both replaced 9 mknths ago and still look great....but oreillys also had a code that said de carbon system...so do you thjnk this is what i should do? It runs terible and check engine light js on and my traction control light and my tire lressure sensor light as well.. oreillys told me to do chemtool cleaner to clean it all out but i feel like it wont do much help plz

How did you get the 14mm valve for the fuel line off? The one underneath the manifold. Theres just no space to get anything in there

Yeeeeassssss exactly what I needed

I have seen the electric drill with zip ties trick on YT videos showing good results.

I have a misfire on my 3rd cylinder on my B6, plugs and rubber boots replaced, wondering if this might fix my misfire?? Im replacing my fuel injectors and hope this is it, compression test after

Would this be the same procedure for an Audi A8 4.0 tfsi engine? I am considering buying one and gave read carbon build up is a problem.

I just want to thank you in advance. This looks hectic when reading a wall of script about it, but you made it look doable. I suspect I have an oil leak from the oil filter housing, and was thinking about doing them both at the same. ive read about doing the oil filter housing from the bottom of the car, but if im removing the intake manifold, would it be possible to do the filter housing? Thanks again.

Yo bro, do you know what the valve is called under and attached to the manifold? I have an evap issue

How did you get the injector back in without the tool?

Did you noticed any difference in MPG or throttle responding after cleaning?

One thing I can advice you when taking those bolts and nuts at the bottom is always have a magnetic grabber. Did it and it never fell off.

Question as far as the intake manifold removal. Is it not required to remove the white oring on the injector? I noticed that you only replaced the blue one. Also, while having the intake manifold off, is there anything else i should keep an eye on? Like the thermostat/water pump or anything? Great video man!

Hello , ive a a6 2007 2.7 with bad intake manifold code . Car consume 10 lit in 30 km city , does it consume so much becouse the intake manifold ? In highway 7lit/100km

Nice. I wonder if using mini wire brush on extended dremel handle will make it easier to clean those valves including tight area and crevices.

This is a good video

What are the pros/cons doing a pcv delete without catch can?

FSI for the win

How did that pcv delete system working for you? Your exhaust a cat back system or straight piped??

So, doing this project right now. Got all the bolts securing the manifold out (7 T30 & 2 10mm). Pulling on the manifold to separate it from the block, but it’s only coming out about 1/2 an inch. When you remove the manifold in your vid, there looks like there’s a bolt hanging down off it... is there bolt that is holding it on under (facing downward)? Thanks

What is the tool kit you are using for, I am doing a thermostat removal my self to save money as well. it’s very frustrating without the right tools.

Thanks man!

I got a stock 2013 golf r. right now its sitting at just below 40k. when should I consider doing a carbon cleaning on it?

Does the pcv delete kit, cause any air restrictions? Since i installed mine the long term fuel trims went -15%

I know this is 5 years late lol, but 2 things would have made that job way easier.1- Install an "Oil Catch Can" instead of the Aftermarket PCV delete you have (they actually cause more "oil buildup") it reduces oil and carbon build up by almost 80%. 2- With the car running and someone on the throttle, you can buy a small rubber pipe bung (similar to your noise pipe delete) for the PCV Intake fitting. drill a small 1/8 hole in the rubber bung and spray your cleaner into an already "WARM & RUNNING" Engine (maintain 2-3k rpm). Now you might get a code or 2, misfire or air fuel mix, but your OBD2 will clear them up after, but my 06 GTI intake ports/valves(both sides) and even piston heads looked almost brand new after, it saves on removing Intake, replacing gaskets, fussing with hoses, sensors, throttle removal ect. and having to reinstall it all and hope no issues. I hope this helps for future reference

Hi bro. How was the pcv delete plate working for you? I keep hearing that it's bad for the motor. What do you think? Thanks

Great video thanks. Is the PCV delete plug and play or does it need programming?

Good video,is this the first time you did a valve clean on this mk5 and what was the mileage,I got a mk7 what mileage would you recommend taking it off and cleaning them,I guess the longer you wait the harder it is to clean it off,

Hey, brother. Great vid. And btw, thanks for doing this in good lighting. One question - at 13:05 you mention cranking the camshaft to set the valves right (closed). This little bit is not in the video. Where exactly is this bolt that needs to be turned to accomplish this move? Thanks in advance! (Subscribed!)

Nice

The top part of the dipstick is stuck really quite well, do i just keep pulling? doesnt seem like its meant to come off

Good video👏. You should have more subscribers than the guy saying "watahhh" in you tube with 2M followers.

Hey man how’s it going ? So I noticed that on you’re charge pipe you have the noise pipe part deleted and fitted with a plug , I was wondering exactly what plug did you use to seal that off ?? And what size ?Any info would be highly appreciated !

i am ready to DIY now

thank you sir

thanks for the video, i forgot to put the intake metal dividers back on, would it be alright. car is stage 2+

Thanks man. Used to race back in the 90s. Now, we are seeking an mk5, 6spd. Just seeing and making a list of mods/repair, etc. Only one we've found (has to be 2 door) is an 09 with 115K. Dealer is asking 7.5K. Sounds kinda high eh?

What tool and where did you crank the motor to move the valve up

Thanks for posting this for FSI, got the same engine in my A3! ... first time it's been cleaned in 94K miles? How long ago did you put on that PCV block-off plate?... wonder if it made any difference by not venting oil vapor into the manifold... putting catch can on soon to try and avoid having to do this for a while longer....

Do you know where is the oil pressure switch located is

2 year old but VERY great video. I have always wanted to do this but the thought of replacing those seals at the tip of the injectors was a turn off. I mean I'd need special tools and stuff. I notice you didn't bother replacing those as you mentioned. Isn't there a possibility of something going wrong like fuel leakage maybe?

Wow.. nice how much space you have.. I’m jealous. I have a 2013 GLI and my manifold is right up against the grill basically

Did this make a difference in drivability? Can you feel the difference? Mine needs to be done soon!

Thanks heaps for making this video mate. Gonna give this a go soon. Made a drinking game for anyone keen: 1:04 1:12 1:15 1:23 1:33 1:46 2:00

Got a 2005 one gti seen this video help me out loads , followed the steps I only seen tsi ones which are a little different as there a update I believe if this moter ????
