Default XK Cleaning Carbon Deposit - Youtube Video

Hi
I recorded a TV show on the XK8 (that is over 10 years old) covering 5 repair/updates (Cleaning Carbon Deposits, Replacing Throttle Body, Replacing XK8 brakes with XKR brakes, Replacing Springs and Shock Absorbers, Buying replacement Mufflers and Grille, Replacing Mufflers, and Replacing Grille).

Here is the Youtube video I created on the Cleaning of Carbon Deposits that shows the before and after results of this treatment (use the controls on the bottom menu on youtube -

Thanks Jim........although these have been posted before they are no longer available.


These will prove a valuable asset to the How to section I'm sure

I actually had my car Terracleaned, that was on my diesel A6 though.
Certianly seems to have made a difference with the car seemingly a little more responsive and mpg a little better too.

It was an interesting process that I'm sure did some good, and certainly didn't do any harm for not much money, around £70 iirc
