Just had my first carbon cleaning done on my 2008 A5 3.2L with 80k miles.
There wasn't a significant amount of carbon build up as compared to other engines I've seen, but nonetheless it has made a difference.
I purchased a media blasting machine (Harbour Frieght in the US and Princess Auto in Canada) and a 50LB bag of walnut shells..
I used the Ford Prefect (Audizine screen name) carbon cleaning adapter which makes the process quick, effective and clean.
My local euro shop did the carbon cleaning using that adapter as their compressor has an inline water/moisture eliminator which prevents the walnut shells from clumping and plugging up the blaster nozzle. My local shop asked to use the video I made of my carbon cleaning as part of a promo for them - this would explain the reason for the title of the video.
