If you have all taken a part , would say soak in diesel and then a lot of brake cleaner

[Doctor Gollum]

Carb cleaner does the job, or a soak in diesel as suggested 

[VXL V6]

Paint stripper works ok as well.

Alloy Foam Wheel Cleaner from Poundland and a paint brush, then just rinse off.

Not for me, just rip the intake Hoses and Throttle Body off, give it a good clean, I can do a V6, Penlium off, TB's, front and back Multi Rams, breather pipes etc, within 30 to 40 mins, so a 2.2 shouldn't take more than 20 mins, proper job done rather than spraying and getting crap in your engine.

Carb cleaner from Halfords I find to be the best

its a dti . Ive seen a clip on utube where a guy was spraying a molyslip product directly into manifold. I guess only way is off  & a clean.  though last Wednesday I paid a garage for doing this. suspitions and tell tale signs are it wasn't touched

A year ago I inquired how much my Vx dealer would charge to clean my breathers; £200, but that was without TC!!

Needless to say it is a job I still do myself

Take a look at the pictures MDTM posted up of my (Zafira) DTi intake, that will answer:

1) Why such a product won't work
2) Why you wouldn't want it to work
