Would periodic use of a fuel treatment product like Lucas help in reducing the egr/manifold soot problem that seems to plague these cars? Or, will just reving it hard a few times a day help the problem. I saw a post here of a guy who had very little soot buildup with lots of miles on the engine - all he did was 'floor it' a few times a day. I'm not technical enough to do the CCV mods that some here have done but it also seems there is no clear conclusion that those mods will eliminate the problem. If you pay $400-$500 every few years for a egr/manifold cleaning you'll negate all the savings from the high MPG! I love my Golf but if I had known how much TLC our engines need I may have considered something else..Are there any other solutions?
Thanks
