Hey Transporter - what do you recommend?? Was there some Wurth's stuff i think you mentioned some time ago??
Also I'm moving to Adelaide in the new year for work, so will be a silver RS wagon getting around town......

I use BG Diesel ISC or Interject Diesel ISC with the injector connected to the intake and driven by the electronic box, basically it pulses the injector, so the stuff doesn't detonate violently in the cylinders.

More Skodas in Adelaide!

I'd say I'll give you a call once we hit Adelaide, we are getting our 75K service done before we head over ( it's due now), but would love to get the intake cleaned and also chat about a Viezu ECU tune for the RS TDI engine.

The intake system clean without removing the intake should always be done immediately before the oil change. What year is your RS?

Yup I will be doing it about 5 minutes before the next oil change. Its a 2008 Vrs.

Ahh ok, well I'll have to book in with you for the 90K service then, or I might pull an oil change early ........
My model is the first of the Face lifts - Aug 2009, I can chase up a VIN No. for you and you can check. Also check on the motor to see if it's a cam belt or chain, also if it has the encrypted ECU........
I'm sure i will get to know you fairly well once I get to Adelaide

Do all the Skoda owners come out of the woodwork when Tour Downunder is on??

If its a 2008 model then it will have the FSI engine if im not mistaken (i think it was 2009/10 when they switched to the TSI engine).

At the front of the inlet manifold there is a temperature probe (intake air temp sensor) which takes 30seconds to remove. You can spray the Subaru UEC in there - thats what i did on my Golf as well as my friends Mk5 GTI (same basic engine as your car).

I'll link up some pics in a minute for you to reference.

This procedure works for 2.0FSI and 2.0TSI engines (such as MK5 GTI, MK6 GTI, MK6 R and Octy vRS etc).

1) Locate the air temp sensor on the front of the inlet manifold. It has 1x torx screw holding it in. ( i have already removed the screw in this pic).

2) Remove the temp sensor.

3) Give the can a good shake and spray approx 1/2 the can into the manifold. Let it sit for 5 mins or so.

Note that the car takes longer to start than normal when it has this stuff in the inlet manifold

thats a handy spot!

Great thanks for that Lucas. Now how do you get it into the manifold while the car is running?
And do you put the whole can in or just half? The instructions are that you put half in leave for 10 minutes or so start the engine then hold high revs and spray the rest into the manifold.
