Seafoam use with a 2001 MK I
I was wondering if it would be safe to use seafoam on a 2001 MK I to clean out build up in the block and also use it on the fuel system too
Thanks in advance

I'd be cautious but if I used anything for build up, it would be seafoam
For a gas additive, most of us prefer Techron. I add a botle every 10K and have never had a fuel problem. I tried some other brands when I got my first Mk 1 and had a code on a sensor shortly thereafter.This has never happened to me with Techron during the past decade.

not sure about build up
i havent checked the head or anything like that....just wondering. The car isnt mine and I dont think its been loved how I would have loved it if it had been mine for as long as it as it is old....if you know what I mean. I was just curious since Im sorta new to German cars....most of DIY experience lies with Japanese cars. I have used seafoam with those cars in the past and had great experience with it. Oh one more thing I was plannig on taking it in and having it serviced anyways so I thought it would be a good prep step before I turn it over to the local garage

Make sure the timing belt, etc have been changed in the past 5 years or 60K
