Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, Any one has experienced carbon build on intake valves on DFI engine? What did you do? What was the cost? Is decarbonization part of scheduled maintenance on DFI 997 and up engines? Any ideas to avid carbonizationn of the valves and exhaust system on these engines? Possible to check the valve with camera probe while engine still in the car? Is it possible to remove the PVC system and EGR systems to prevent carbon buildup? Thanks!

POST 2Original post

I add a 20 oz. bottle of Techron Complete Fuel System Cleaner to the gas tank every 3k miles on my 2012 Carrera S. If you read the product spec sheet, it is formulated for DFI engines.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, But the problem is not dirty fuel system, In DFI engines fuel does not touch the intake valves so carbon builds up on the valves.

POST 4Original post

I drive mine as intended. After fully warmed up, WOT to red line in 2nd - 4th gear (or faster if you can) as much and often as possible.
