Parasene did the trick for me too :wink: Takes some drying out tho. SWMBO's hairdryer speeded things up tho :twisted:  :D

People Hi,

here in Greece we use plain ordinary diesel to clean it.
Pour a bit of diesel in it, shake it well, empty it and repeat until the diesel coming out of the intercooler is clean.

Let it dry as long as you can and then put it back.

It may be worth to also clean the hoses and the cylinder head to air filter oil fumes recirculation system on the same time.

Take care
Pantelis

Yes, but I bet it's far cheaper for you than it is here :lol:

A UK gallon is 4.545 litres, which works out (at 85.9p/litre) to
1,927.62DCM
5.56Euros
