Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.

I’m wondering if this (engine oil residue) is the sort of thing the service guy at the Dealer asked me about when I had the 45k service earlier this week. He said something about $69 (from memory) on top of the $239 service to clean oil build up somewhere or other in the engine. I declined having only 17k on the clock...no doubt it will need to be done sooner or later?Okay...
Just finished the Commodore.
There was some carbon there but it wiped off really easily after spraying with the cleaner.
What suprised me was engine oil residue on the bottom of the TB.
I could also see that the intake manifold was VERY SHINY inside...not in a good way as it's black plastic...
It's clearly covered in oil residue that gets sucked in there !
Catch can time I think !!!

Ok cheers Ron...I was thinking as such ...just not sure how much there would be to clean out & how they would go about it...I’ll arm myself with info from this thread and have a chat with the guy in 9mths time...likely to only have another 2-3k on the clock by then anyway.Upper engine cleaner (subaru) mentioned here could probably help with cleaning this out....
Something I’m not getting here. If it’s needed, intake and throttle body cleaning that is, why is it not listed as a service item and included under the fixed price schedule?
Anyone who has had driving issues because of gummed up intake and throttle body problem directly discussed with Holden Customer Care why intake and throttle body cleaning it is not included as a service item covered by fixed price schedule? The next question would be if gumming up occurs frequently, why a catch which many say resolves such issues was not included as standard fit tent? Gotta be one or the other in my view.
