Carbon Buildup Treatment

Carbon Buildup Treatment
In few days I'll be doing the Seafoam treatment to my MINI (through the vacuum line and the fuel tank. Not to the oil. But that's another story.)
My question is:
has anyone done the "distilled water cleaning" method in addition or in place of seafoam treatment?
If yes, is there any good result? and how was applied? in the same way as the Seafoam?

Not sure about that method, but if you're interested we do have a great DIY for a method on carbon clean up if interested.

Apparently it is more effective but I will not get water in the engine of my car until to be totally sure of what I'm doing.
I'm interested in your DIY method, of course!

The method is about spraying distilled water on the vaccum line instead of Seafoam, but I don't know if this is the procedure. The idea is the same: get water on the combustion chamber so it will clean the carbon there.

Check out our article. It doesn't require you purchase any carbon cleaning tools (such as the media blaster and wand). It should be very helpful to you and other individuals who do not have the budget or just don't want to purchase the tools. This is also the method done before these types of tools were available.

The F56 shouldn't be as effected by this like the N14 R56 MINI's. Good thread for you below.

I have not heard of a carbon build up issue with the Gen 3 MINI. I have not seen a tool for that model yet.

This method is great for those who don't have the walnut blasting wand and adapter HERE. It's located in our R56 articles "Tech Info" section under Turbocharged Engine Carbon Cleaning. The method does utilize an engine cleaner. It's a little time consuming, but works well. This method is used a lot for carbon cleaning VW's and Audi's as well.
Post MAF obviously.

That is not implied in the article, as the repair is performed with the intake removed and all cleaner is removed from intake ports before reassembly. Questions for turbocharger safe cleaners are best kept for the manufacturers of the cleaners. I'd advise you to check the brand's use terms for the cleaner.
