This has been edited for a 2.8 12v.

This is just for a 12v… I’m not going to take the time to write up all of the crank case direction and etc, etc… you can find those all over, google.com is your friend…

The problem is that there are no tutorials for a A4 12v (there are different vacuum lines on a 12v, compared to a 30v)…. So here they are


A YouTube link can be found here.... (This is how to do it)

And here... (this is what it looks like)

Okay, I did the vacuum line first, because I didn’t want to go to the gas station…

1. Get a can of Seafoam, and a bottle, such as a water bottle…. Cut the water bottle in half… Get ready to feel like James Bond, with a smokescreen and all……


2. Open you hood, obviously, and take off the black Audi engine cover…



3. Find the vacuum line, I have circled it here (thanks to SAudi for the original help)





4. Undo the top of the vacuum line…. I didn’t have any extra vacuum line lying around, so what I did was found a piece on the engine, that I was not using, and could be easily hooked back up, and used that, it only needs to be about 9 inches long.




5. Fill up the cut water bottle with about a half a can of SeaFoam… I used almost a whole can, I can’t see why more would hurt, you’re just wasting it at this point…



6. Have a friend start up the car and hold the RPM’s around 2k…



7. Lightly skim the top of the SeaFoam in the water bottle with the vacuum line.
After about 2 min of a straight up smokescreen out of your rear, turn the car off and let it sit for about 10 min.




8. Connect the vacuum line’s all back up while the car is shut off


9. After the car has been sitting for 10 min, start it up and watch more smoke come out…. I let it idle for 5 min or so, then took it out for a 2 mile drive
a. I bet the people behind me thought I was driving a beater….


10. You’re done… Now go onto doing the gas tank and crank case.



11. All you do for the gas tank, is dump a full can of SeaFoam in your tank when you fill up, at the same time dump a half a can in the crankcase (the same place you put oil).
12. After you have driven that same gas tank down, CHANGE YOUR OIL, and your car has now been SeaFoamed….


You're welcome,

good write up. thanks for that

 

I realize the idea of a tutorial does not seem inherently difficult but most are not as well thought out as this one. well done and thanks!

 

This helped quite a bit as I just seafoamed my 12v today I think it was a coincidence (sp?) that this was on here.

 

i think alot of 12v drivers wanted to do a seafoam but just didnt know how to get it in there.

 

yea I wanted to for a while but this whole week has been in the 70/80's so I've been doin just a bunch of little stuff. Like wash/wax my car, clean my throttle body, seafoam, oil change top of my fluids. All simple stuff but next week hopefully it will be nice im gonna start the Tbelt job
