Sunday work on my 2011 2.0tdi cffb, 4x4. Did my intake and it was a decent job to do. Cleaned it for any carbon/soot deposits and there were some gunk inside. Replaced my injector seals as well and replaced other seals on the manifold and throttle body as well. My car doesn't habe any dpf issues due to driving conditions, but a clean inside doesn't hurt. Good for mpg and my own mind. Also cracked loose the glow plugs and greased with copper paste so they are easier loosened when replacement is due. All in all 4 hours spent in garage on a nice sunday afternoon.

Well done, I did clean mine one year ago as I had to change throttle body. Unfortunately I did not take any pictures by yours are a very good representation of all the work that needs to be done.

You did glows plugs as well, what is the mileage of your car? I am considering too to change them as I have done 160K miles on my car
