Inlet manifold cbu cleaning
Anyone know anywhere in the UK with experience in cleaning the CBU out of plastic inlet manifolds? I've read about folk in the US/Canada having them soaked and ultrasonically cleaned, which sounds about the best thing for it.

Sorry to not answer your direct question of knowing anywhere in the UK (which I don't), but it isn't too difficult to remove and do yourself. I did mine last year.
Are you looking at removing and wanting a company to clean it, or are you wanting a company to do everything?

Just after someone to do the cleaning. I took it off last year and scraped at as much of the crud as I could get at with a screwdriver, but it definitely wasn't any sort of satisfactory job. Really needs a good clean internally, beyond where I could hit with a tool.
I've heard of folk jet washing theirs etc, but I think ultrasonic cleaning is the one. |

Yeah. Nothing that I sprayed on it before (carb cleaner, brake cleaner, contact cleaner, engine cleaner, etc) seemed to really touch it! I'll need to find something better. Anyone any suggestion on that? I saw someone in the US recommending a certain brand of degreaser, but it wasn't readily available over here.
