  • Intake manifold clean

    G'day has anyone attempted to clean the intake manifold and throttle body on the 150 series them selfs?
    Had my car in for it 140000k service recently and I tried to get my mechanic to clean it for me but he insisted it was to big of a job to do! From what I've seen on here regarding the 120's with massive amounts of carbon build up restricting air intake I figured it was due to have mine done. I will attempt to do it my self this weekend as my car has been running like a pig and chewing more fuel than normal! If any one could give a few tips on doing the clean and or other things it may be? Eg injectors.....I f#*@ hope not!!!

    Cheers.

        Not that hard to do once you take everything off, just very messy.

        Need to use a strip of plastic (cut up an ice cream container) to scrap all the hard crap (which then turns into poisonous liquid) out of it, then use a cleaner spray like carby cleaner to clean out the rest. Took me a few good hours and a big pile of mess but came out almost spotless. Just wear rubber gloves as it's nasty stuff.

          Cheers mate pulling it all apart deffinantly looks like the hard part! Once you cleaned yours did you notice much of a difference in performance and fuel economy? and what ks did u do yours at? Going to install and catch can and secondary fuel filter just have to try hunt one down on eBay hopefully it stops it from becoming so clogged up in the future.
