    I'm doing another CB clean soon...this one is high on my to-do list

    (unless you mean stopping it from happening, in which case I'll defer this task to a shop with more resources dedicated to developing a solution.)

    Aha! I think I prodded you about this in another thread.
    As someone who is new to rs4 ownership, I'm itching to see what people do/have done themselves, highest on my list:

    Carbon cleaning
    Jhm intake spacer
    Trans/diff mount
    Jhm lightweight rotors

    I would like Video Guides.

    1.) Bumper on and Off
    2.) Oil change with Pela extractor and then showing where the new oil filter goes
    3.) Intake Manifold on/off
    4.) Carbon cleaning chemical+scraping

    I think it is great that people go through this, but to truly understand the more complex tasks video would be a lot better.

    B-

    I would do an oil change DIY.
    I would also have twentyfivevalve(Tim from qw) bring his Brake swap DIY over.
    CanuckRS4 Clear corner DIY would be a nice touch as well.
    US steering wheel to Euro FBSW conversion.
    Anything relating to CBC would be huge!

    Looking forward to this section growing.

    I don't think anyone will do this due to the fact that no one has provided an explanation on how to extract more than 5 - 7 quarts. The windage doors / baffles prevent the extractor's tube access to the remaining oil that is in the sections behind/left/right the windage doors/baffles.

    No biggie - I was worried mine was lacking or ambiguous in some way making it difficult to follow.

    lol - true. I'd imagine the clear corner mod will include the "baking the headlight in the oven technique that causes the sealant to soften...resulting in us being able to split apart the two halves of the headlight gaining access to the internals.

    Yes a few have tried (Kryptonik + some others) and unfortunately it did nothing for the CB problem. I was thinking of an idea that included adding a fuel cleaner to the W/M mix (if that is safe...which I think it would be from a logical stand point, not an experience standpoint) to see if it would help. Assuming you had an 8 port style W/M system you would essentially be spraying a fuel cleaner over the back of the valves...like an ordinary port injected engine.
