Hi,
I am relatively new on here, https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/hi-im-new.309239/
I have a pre face lift TD4 auto (with EGR Removed and a bypass installed at 99k miles), and I went to change my glow plugs yesterday to find that the plastic air intake manifold, and the 8 inlets in the engine block, were pretty much solid with carbon deposits, and after searching the forums I have seen a lot of suggestions of soaking the plastic manifold in oven cleaner or petrol etc and using a bottle brush to clear it out and paint the garage black. But I can't find anything about how to clean the inlets in the actual engine, I didn't want to disturb any of it, in case it clogged up the engine.... any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
