Re: "Seafoam" to remove carbon deposits

Yes I did not want to get Check Engine Light. Seafoam works whatever it does. On the second day I have easier starts and there is some white smoke during hard acceleration.
It has probably dissolved some grime. Good product.

I just changed the spark plugs so I do not want to get them out again but I will do it in April 2011. Good Idea to get those rings luricated from the other side. Thank you

I guess I'll just have to pull the intake manifold and find out.

However, with that said, there is no harm in running a seafoam decarbon procedure on any car. It will always do more good than harm.

pretty aggressive comment. Hopefully this A4 owner, who listened to you somewhat blindly, isn't harmed by your advice. I'd be willing to bet that this is not the case.

this (thread) is going to get interesting in about 7 days...

Re: "Seafoam" to remove carbon deposits

Do you think that my engine will be harmed in 7 days?
If so in what way?
