Default Cleanse inlet manifold?



Is there anything I can do too clean the inlet manifold without taking it off, could I spray something into it let it soak and then start the engine to blow it through.

Hi Jules. Is that your diesel? Easy enough to take off and give it a dose of oven cleaner foam . Leave for around ten minutes and then wash out. Might need to do it twice if it’s bad.

As above but I would leave it soaking for a few days & wash out at least three times then you would get a result like this below.

Start the engine to "Blow" it thru'??????? The engine won't blow it thru' it will suck all the cr4p and sh1t it thru' that you have loosened NOT a GOOD IDEA..

Unless you intend to remove it before cleaning, I would leave well alone.
