Funnily enough it was actually running OK, albeit that it was very occasionally dropping into limp-home mode. Still getting 50mpg if I tickled it. I was getting an underpressure DTC, so I was expecting a coked up turbo, but not this stuff in the inlet manifold. Anybody got any ideas about "nasty chemicals" as I've soaked it in petrol and attacked it with a toothbrush, but it would be nice to get it really clean?
