wanna see what 197,000 miles looks like?

Gairloch · 09-20-2007, 05:32 AM

Tasty oil-laden carbon crunchies anyone?

What are you planning to do about it?

PHOENIX · 09-20-2007, 05:37 AM

i would remove your intake manifold, and go get it tanked. then take some cleaning solution and toothbrush and clean that TB up.

Impressive amount of gunk buildup though. I would be proud

Mister2.2 · 09-20-2007, 05:52 AM

Carb cleaner should clear it up with some work. That's probably one of the worst case examples I've seen though. :o

MR2TRD1 · 09-20-2007, 12:31 PM

I've never seen anything that bad. Do you burn any oil?

the first time i had a tune up done on it, they found oil on and around the spark plugs, in one of my previous threads i have pictures of my pcv valve with some oily residue on it, but yeah alot of oil was missing on my last oil change, still trying to figure out whats up with that

MR2TRD1 · 09-20-2007, 02:35 PM

n/a's leak past the valve stems when they sit. You burn a small amount of oil there. It looks like you have some seriously worn piston rings though. Check that oil everyday!

Looks like normal EGR gunk to me...

My 3S throttlebody and a little bit of my intake manifold looked just like that.
