Hey all,

has anyone tried to clean there intakes on CR TDi's? I recently installed the DG intake flap fix and noticed my MPG go back up but still not where it use to be. Im wondering if I should pull the intake to clean.. 2010 Golf TDi with 179k on her now.

I probably will be removing the intake manifold (46k miles) just in order to access the wiring which I need to fix.
However, mine is 1.6 TDI.

I can report back on the level of cloggage, if interested.

My best guess is IDK. Since the change over to ULSD, intake clogging should be a thing of the past.

My BRM at 150K miles seems to run fine. At some point I will probably delete my EGR and will investigate for clogging at that time.
