Hi guys and gals,
I know there are many DIY's on intake removal and carbon cleaning on GTIs, but I felt there were a few items that were not properly addressed and a couple issues that I ran into that hopefully others can avoid. I made a "top tips" .pdf that goes through all of these. This is more of a supplement to the other existing resources than a reiteration.
Here's what the .pdf covers:
Hope this is helpful for any other DIY'ers.
One tip I forgot - even though it may seem obvious, cover your open oil filter port with a plastic bag so you don't get engine dirt and carbon crap in there.

Here's what the .pdf covers:
- Materials needed for intake manifold removal and install:
- Materials needed for carbon clean-out:
- Torque Specifications
- Battery & Fuel pump
- Oil filter
- M10 triple square and the bolt from hell
- Covering the injector holes
- Cleaning the valves
- Turning the crank bolt
- Teflon injector seals, removal and installation (without the special VW tools)
- Cleaning the manifold seal on the block
Hope this is helpful for any other DIY'ers.
