Apparently MoB has a Carbon Cleaning Special going right now for $350.00. That is still a lot of dough.

I saw that the other day. Thought of calling to see if they would honor that under warranty work.

My car has 60K miles on it (I bought it with 50K a year ago) and I don't think the carbon build-up has ever been removed properly. The throttle was sticking, the performance was down and it just felt like the car was struggling. I know there's a lot of people that swear by the Seafoam method, but I've run 2 bottles through my car in 4K miles and it's done nothing. I also got taken for $250 for a dealer method (while the car was in for other service) that was only a temporary fix (a few days and a warm fuzzy feeling). So, I decided to tackle cleaning the intake ports/valves manually myself. I wasn't going to pay the dealership $$$$ without having some way of verifying it was done right and I just don't trust them. It's my car, if I want it to last, it's my responsibility. After reading a few posts on cleaning the valves, I didn't see where anyone had done a full writeup on the procedure. I figured I would jump in and do the writeup, so others can do the maintenance, regain the lost performance and learn a thing or two about our cars. The result? Amazing! I feel like my car runs brand new. The build-up on my car after 60K was extreme. I couldn't get a clear picture due to the location and lack of light, but trust me when I say it was extreme. After looking at it, I wasn't surprised it was running terrible. Now, the performance is back, the throttle works perfectly and it runs much smoother. I put in the BSH Oil Catch Can after I cleaned it which will definitely help reduce the buildup in the future. Believe me when I tell you, you can do it. It's not major surgery and only takes a Saturday. I tried to lay out the steps as detailed as possible, for the inexperienced. If you have any questions, shoot me a PM. Enjoy!
This guy mentioned something about a dealership carbon service with no results.

I've heard mixed results from both MINI and BMW guys regarding the dealer carbon service.

I'm waiting for a indie shop to get back to me about what it would cost them to do a valve cleaning. They usually do this on late model Veedubbers.

No he's alive. Talked to him on Sunday. Guess he's been crazy busy with work and what not.

I wish they covered this under preventative maintenance. Blows my bean that they wouldn't add this considering it is prolonging the vehicle....isn't that why the package is there?
