1984

Hi Mat, No have not had much luck with this car since i've had it over the last 18 months, fell in love with it and too stubborn to let it go, it's had too much ££ spent on it now to just get rid... I will get to the bottom of the issue...! And there have been a very occasional flashing EML's coming on, but the VCDS scan has come back with: 000768 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected - 000772 - Cylinder 4 P0304 - 000 - Misfire Detected - 000769 - Cylinder 1 P0301 - 000 - Misfire Detected. hence why i started off with the easy changing of bits, ie MAF and PCV, Coil Packs. The last independant garage said it may be the injectors clogged and dirty (hence the teraclean) or it may possibly be the inlet valves carboned/coked up, which the whole inlet manifold would need to come off to be cleaned (either manually or walnut blast) - or as brad1.8T said get an endoscope and have a look first. I have seen and read on the Mini Forums that the BMW Mini garages have the Walnut Shell blasting at a lot of their garages - is this something they could do. i.e. would they feel comfortable with taking the inlet manifold off and then cleaning it with their walnut blast? and then at what cost - only contacting them and asking the question will prevail any answers! AP... How much do you charge for this service - 2.0T TSI? Thanks all!

Dear All, Has anyone had a Walnut blast carbon clean done? Neild5? As I am having a very similar issue with a rough running: All the best!

Dear All I have a very similar issue to you Mat-Manchester, and also Neild5: I am seriously considering a Walnut Blast carbon clean of the inlet valves....: I have already replaced the: MAF, PCV & PCV hoses, I have had the Coil Packs and Throttle Body replaced by a garage (who said we know exactly what the problem is - and a lot of £ later it has not sorted it. I have also had a teraclean done (just in case it was dirty injectors), I am losing the will with this car, as this can only be the last option to try? When brad1.8T said this: How easy is this do to with a borescope? All the best!

A big thank you to John and Richard for a passenger ride, slippery fun in the afternoon! And what a beast the Yeti is!

Noting wrong with sideways

Much appreciated!

If anyone (or more than one) is willing can I possibly passenger a couple of laps. I fancy coming for the day and joining in but don't fancy driving my own car...

I've in the last week purchased a 2010 Vrs estate in Race Blue, and i've just stumbled across your thread, brilliant to say the least! And Karlosfandango I am also in Attleborough, may see you around town.
