C.R. Brown,
I am not a superman. One hour is for Part A Inspection only. Whole job will take all Saturday plus night for a shade tree mechanic.
gk1 and mystrodo,
Thanks for complements.
I used Seafoam and have a write up ready to post but can not post a new thread anymore. I got this message "Post rejected because of a score of: 43 Rejection set to: 30." I e-mailed webmaster and pierreb yesterday for fix.
The blasting material you mentioned is walnut shell. I did some research about it. There is cheap machine that needs an air compressor.
My Audi had 58K miles and the real issue I had was check engine light because of a faulty high pressure fuel pump. Before that I noticed slight rough idle at first startup when cold from the time I bought it as used car at 46K. I actually took it to dealer for that and got typical "no problem found" response.

Cleaning those valves takes about 15 to 20 minutes per cylinder if you would like to make them nice and shiney! About an hour of R&R time, and I always run a BG fuel injection cleaner thru the FSI injectors.
Then they run nice and smooth!
