    As the title says I am looking at removing my dpf to have it cleaned. It has had the on car clean process completed with limited results. As such I am now thinking about having it ultra sonically cleaned by a specialist company. Has anyone already done this and did it work? Thanks Jim

    Am trying to see if blocked secondary air injector pipes is a common issue in the UK? As we can have slightly higher octane fuel than the USA, where it seems quite an issue, would this help? I know the pumps are a bit crap and give up but don't know about the pipes getting blocked. Mine are...

    In order to cure a vacuum leak issue at normal running temperature, I have started dismantling the throttle body and the Intake Manifold System. Obviously the gaskets for the throttle body and intake manifold should be replaced and all related areas cleaned. What I am not sure is whether or...

    Last weekend I removed all 4 vanos solenoid valves, gave them a clean, and re-fitted them with new o-rings. It was a bit fiddly, but despite appearances the only things you need to get out of the way to do the job are the air intake duct and the fuel vapour purge valve. It's also very...

    My front alloys were in a pitiful state, ingrained with brake dust and full of brown stains (not due to my cleaning routine) I don't think they got cleaned ever by the last owner, I was about to give in and go for a refurb... I use one minute wheels by greased lightning for the weekly clean...
