StuDoc 72 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 You can use an oil flush when changing the oil but its not really recommended to be used on turbod engines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
metalmickey0 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Just blast it down the motorway. That`ll clean the crap out. A car mechanic i know told me to it also before your mot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AdamB Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 If the car has always been run on 99 fuel or higher there won't be much deposits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Also be careful, them carbon deposits could be holding your engine together. A lad at work ran a flush through his engine and lost compression soon after. As adam just said if the car is ran on premium unleaded then there shouldn't be much in the way of deposits. Also regular servicing helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AdamB Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Carbon deposits in the engine are very bad, and tbh are probably best left alone. Breaking off a deposit can create a hot spot in the cylinder and will cause pre-ignition, destroying your engine in very few miles. Unless the engine is going to be stripped, cleaned and rebuilt I would leave it alone. Edited July 10, 2012 by AdamB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H_D Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Redex is pretty goodRedex is just a fuel system cleaner.Whatever you do, do not flush your engine as the deposits can block your sump strainer which will restrict oil flow causing further damage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
