As is common with many Direct Injected engines, the intake valves eventually suffer from carbon build up. It was an undiagnosed problem for several years - injectors were replaces several years ago and multiple failures of the PCV valve. Also a rear main seal was replaced a couple of years ago as well. Likely all these were as a result of the carbon build up. I finally researched and diagnosed the issue myself and now all is mostly well. I have also devised a means of regular maintenance (injecting a special cleaner upstream of the intake throttle body prior to oil changes) to alleviate a repeat of the carbon build up. Fuel mileage is about 35% better (measured - not guesstimate) now that air can get in where it is needed. The buildup was severe - about a 50% restriction of x-sect. diameter. |
