BMW, Audi and VW direct injection engines (2.0FSI and TSI and BMW 135/335/535 model engines) currently have carbon buildup issues on their valves because of the design of the direct injection system.
The fuel being injected directly in the combustion chamber isn’t going by the intake valves, like conventional combustion engines, causing the oil vapors to turn into carbon on contact with the hot intake valves.
In comparison on a conventional combustion engine the injectors are in the intake manifold, before the intake valves, so when fuel is injected it cleans the intake valves at every injection cycle.
BMW developed a valve cleaning process using walnut shells that we now offer for BMW MINI COOPER Audi and Volkswagen engines.
The service requires the removal of the intake manifold to gain access to the valves, special adapters then fit over the intake ports to blast the valves with walnut media. On the VW and Audi engines we also remove the injectors to decarbonize them manually and also reseal them to the head.
Common issues related to carbon buildup on the valves are misfires, lack of performance/sluggishness and decreased fuel economy.
This service should be performed every 50,000 miles to keep your car operating to factory specifications!

Check Engine Light Facts
Check Engine Light 101
This has probably happened to you at least once. You're driving your car and it is running fine. All of a sudden a red or yellow warning light flashes on "Check Engine". Of course this usually occurs when you need the car most.
What do you do? What does it mean? Is it safe to drive? Is the car going to break down immediately? Is more damage going to occur the more I drive it? Is it going to blow up? It can be an anxious and stressful time when you don't understand what is happening with your car and don't know what to do about it.
Depending on the age of your car, the pesky light may read "Check Engine, " "Power Loss," "Service Engine Now," or "Service Engine Soon." The lights are connected to computers, which monitor engine and transmission sensors to determine if there is a failure in the system that may cause an increase in harmful emissions. The computer system is called On Board diagnostics (OBD).
On Board Diagnostics continuously monitors sensors and actuators. It actively tests some systems for proper operation while the car is being driven, continuously checking for fuel control and engine misfire. Also, once per trip the OBD checks catalyst efficiency, exhaust gas recirculation operation, evaporative system integrity, oxygen sensor response, and oxygen sensor heaters. The "Check Engine Light" or "Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)" will illuminate if there is a failure in the emissions system. The light will also blink on and off if there is engine misfire severe enough to damage the catalytic converter.
As you can see, many of your car's systems have sensors and actuators that, if malfunctioning, effect emissions and can cause one of these warning lights to come on. That is why, although you may have had a recent repair to turn off the light, other sensors or actuators can malfunction causing the light to come on again shortly. This can become frustrating for the car operator who does not understand what these lights mean or which systems are malfunctioning.
One of the common questions asked is "will my car pass the state emissions test if the check engine light is on?" Unfortunately the car will not pass, and when the light is on you will not even be able to have the emissions tested until the problem is corrected, the computer reset, and the light shut off.
How is the problem diagnosed and repaired? Trouble-shooting requires checking OBD to see if the computer has set a trouble code. This is done either by putting the computer through a self-diagnostic test or by plugging a special scan tool into the diagnostic connector to access the computer.
A trouble code does not necessarily mean a sensor or actuator is bad. It only means a problem has been detected in that particular circuit. It could be the sensor, the wiring, or a connector somewhere in the wiring. To isolate the fault, a sequence of further diagnostic tests usually has to be performed. Intermittent faults are hardest to find, and some sensor problems may not generate a trouble code at all.
It must be added that repairing a problem, because it is a step-by-step procedure, requires that the first malfunction(s) found must be fixed before the system can be tested again. It is not uncommon to find other faults after the first malfunction is repaired, which requires further diagnosis and repair.
In conclusion, although your car may not be about to "blow up," no warning light should be ignored. The problem can be as simple as a loose gas cap or as serious as failure of a component critical to the engine management of your car. An ignored warning light may cost you much more in repairs or leave you stranded on the side of the road. It is always best to have it checked as soon as it occurs.

Alternator Issues
When faced with an illuminated charge light diagnosis on most late-model vehicles, do not automatically assume the problem is inside the alternator and potentially unserviceable. The problem could be the pulley and belt drive system. Neglecting to test and diagnose the pulley can lead to unnecessary replacement.
Almost every late model car or truck is equipped with an overrunning alternator pulley (OAP) or an overrunning alternator decoupler (OAD). An OAP is a one-way clutch like a socket wrench that turns in one direction and locks when turned the other direction. An OAD operates in the same manner, but has a special clutch and spring that absorbs vibration to smooth out vibrations in the drive belt system. Regardless of the type, the pulley should be checked before condemning and removing the alternator.
These new pulleys allow the alternator to “free-wheel” or “overrun” when the belt suddenly slows down. This prevents the belt from slipping and reduces vibration. Best of all, the system need less tension and even a narrower belt can be used. This can result in a 1.5% to 2% fuel economy improvement. However, these pulleys have a limited lifespan due to how they operate internally.
OADs and OAPs behave the same, except the OAD will have a “spring feel” because of the internal spring. Testing can be performed on the vehicle with the belt attached.
