76K Mile RS4 Carbon Cleaning. Worst We've Seen Yet! This is forum member Javi3r187's RS4. We did a standard CB service on it, oil & filter change, & a new fuel filter. He has recently done spark plugs as well. Car being over 75K mile mark and never had a cleaning done we were assuming it to be pretty bad and we were right. :oh2: Here are some pictures! Enjoy! If you want to do this cleaning on your direct injected motor let us know! http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...38368405_n.jpg http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...63198517_n.jpg http://hphotos-iad1.fbcdn.net/hphoto...64493027_n.jpg http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...14428291_n.jpg http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...11921185_n.jpg http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...34581408_n.jpg http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...39788777_n.jpg http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...83887336_n.jpg http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...45360932_n.jpg |
What does Audi (& others) suggest for this kind of carbon buildup on the new direct inject engines? I've heard nothing of this maintenance being covered under warranty and a lot of sub-30k cars with significant buildup causing problems the dealers aren't covering under warranty? How often does it need to be done? What are the downsides to not doing it? |

Is this something that occurs on the V10 S6 as well? |
I would be really pissed if I spent 70k on an Audi RS4 and this is what I bought.... |
Is this fouling in any way ethanol related, or more a direct injection phenomena? |

Have you performed this service on a V10 S6? Do you have any pictures to share? Please PM me a price to perform the service. My fathers S6 is around 55k miles. |

Kia, would it be safe to assume that EVERY Audi built V8/V10 will suffer from this problem? Or, on a larger scale; is EVERY engine with direct injection going to have an issue with carbon build up no matter who built it? |
