[Vwdiesel] TDI intake cleaning

[Shirley, Mark R]

I really don't have much use for carb cleaner.  I use parts washers 
combined with occasional lye/water mixes or tsp to clean parts.
I only needed the carb cleaner because I can't get to the surfaces
inside the intake
that need cleaning.  
 
I'm tentatively thinking of coming up with a witches brew of chemicals
from Lowe's.
Naptha, maybe some acetone, and diesel fuel.

  One time use?  I'm on the third can in my lifetime and the first two 
were either well used or half gone when I got them. I figure that last 
one I bought has me set for life. Of course I mostly use it for carbs 
or making O-rings grow.  You wouldn't have to use it, nor contaminate 
it all on your intake.
