God no im not that tech minded, but i have owned the car for 4 years, and know the car inside out, and it is def alot nicer to drive, even the exhaust note is stronger, if i keep the car it will be done again after 20,000 miles

What I've done is had the dealer manually clean the valves. I then prior to ever oil change use a induction cleaning kit from 3m. I'm hoping this will slow down the buildup process

Wynns makes a similar product for you guys in the UK

I'm changing my oil every 5000 miles, as I think this will also help in limiting the carbon buildup+ also will try the wynns
