Bought my first Stage 2 GTI this week and am wanting to do some new maintenance on it (160k). Anyways one of the things I am looking at doing with my buddy and his 09 JCW Clubman is to get a carbon cleaning. In Dayton, one euro shop has walnut blasting and the other has the chemical. The chemical is cheaper, and the owner explained why he decided to bring chemical into his shop instead of walnut. He like how it cleaned everything in the motor, not only the valves and that it was a much cleaner job that leaving small particles of walnuts in the motor. What I've heard is that the walnut blasting is better for motors with more carbon on the valves and that chemical is better for a light coating of carbon on the valves. Has anyone had any experience with either?
Also, both of our plugs are due for a changing, would it be okay to change them before the carbon cleaning or is it recommended to do it after? Thanks ya'll!
