Carbon Clean time

[General.Massacre]

hi all. so i did my Carbon Clean yesterday with Marchand. arrived nice and early, and began stripping, i told him a concern of mine that i believed the Charge Pipe might be cracked, as the night before i got a EML light, and on his reader it showed an underboost error.
During stripping we came across the clamp that connects the charge pipe to the Intercooler was loose, and sweating oil. so a large boost leak was found. Marchand said he will get it tightened once all gets reconnected.

Now according to my research Doc_335i already did a carbon clean on this car back in 2013, thread here

so 4 years later, was my turn, i dont have any pics of the after, so i am going to ask that Marchand please post them if he has them, i am keen to see the final product.
thanks in advance Marchand.

I feel the car is a fair bit smoother, though have not yet given the car a push, but it does feel good.
I am aware the turbos are going to need work soon, as i can feel (maybe im imagining it) but when im pushing the car, it feels like it runs outta puff quickly, like the boost just doesnt hold :O

but oh well. progress for now, will add it to my thread. thanks all.

Hi Justin,

Thanks for this post. I have sent the clean pics through to you as I am a bit unsure of how to post here (My wife handles the admin and forums). Please do not hesitate to contact me with any further queries.

Regards Marchand
