I have a 2001 A6 2.7t and I was wondering if it would be a good or stupid idea to sea-foam the car. I know there's lots of different places where you can use it on the car but would it be alright or would it hurt the turbos? Im just curious.

Maybe I'd do it if its ok (**** off the neighbors too )

 

we dont use it in the ik because we cant get it so we use read or slick50

 

uk not ik dam spell checker is worse at spelling than me lol

 

Is Sea Foam okay to use with synthetic oil??

 

Seafoam was created for marine applications initially.
Later used in muscle domestic cars. You drive a German engineered car – use German products! Use Lubro(Liqui)Molly http://www.liqui-moly.de/liquimoly/w..._usa_home.html

or make yourself a blend from

Naphtha
Kerosine
Mineral spirits

For the fraction of the cost….

Or use WD40 .. – same efficiency

 

What do you mean by WD40 nemohm? How would I use it is what I mean. Would I spray it in? Or just to make my own blend?

 

If one looks at the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets)
Of many popular fuel system purge products one could find interesting patterns and resemblance.
Even WD40. (in Europe it the content is different)
Only Techtron by Shevron I found has a special component.

If one targets all fuel system components – the purge agent should be run from the tank.
The industrial concentration of LubroMoly is 1gl gas, 1 Ventil Sauber, 1 Jetron cleaner. If you double it is even better. I know it from many practical cases.

As I don’t poses the industrial apparatus (1gl steel cylinder with valve for pressure air connection) I drive till have 4-5l gas in the tank and then get in the purgers. Idle only, for 20min at variety of rpm – up to 3000. Could leave the blend overnight in the system for best results The best way is to be done before an oil change.

Running small amounts constantly in the gas would harm only one’s pocket if paid in full in the store. Some xylene and acetone would make the blend completely scientific.

 

I used on my 2.8 ATQ and I noticed that the engine definitely runs smoother. I did the crankcase direct pour, intake pour and the gas tank pour. For the crankcase, I changed my oil after about 200 miles.
