Have you looked into other causes for the misfire? I would try to exhaust all possibilities before manually cleaning valves. If that's what it takes, and you're capable of doing the work yourself, proceed.

Im in the same boat. Im about to change the coil packs. If that doesnt fix it, off with the manifold..
ive tried that and it didnt get rid of the misfire. you might want to anyway.
i have looked into it a lot and this seems like this is it. the car has a lot of miles.

Piece of advice. Have a look at the vacuum line connection between the engine and the break booster. That piece of plastic would cause you nightmares like it did to me.

This line is a common problem. Rigid line that runs to vacuum pump. It gets brittle and cracks over time. I had to replace mine. Also consider that sometimes there is more than one cause for a single symptom.

TBH the FSI and TSI valve cleaning is damn near identical.
Only 3 things that will be different are removing the engine cover, injector seals are different, and the flappers on the FSI manifold are removable.
