      Gasoline Direct Injection, you have to clean the intake of carbon because the fuel is injected directly inside the cylinder so there ends up being carbon buildup just above the valve seats. This is why is specified to do a intake cleaning at 100k

    Greetings, the Opel Vectra, which has been standing still for ll years, is in very good condition, I believe that with a minimal investment that car could be operational again. This has been demonstrated by the fact that you have not had many complications when starting it, as I have seen that has happened to you with other vehicles. Once again you have done it, you have returned a car to "life" when it was "dead". I say goodbye until the next video.
