Just remember never use any OH(hydroxide) on aluminium items, unless you want to dissolve the aluminium too. Oven cleaner too is very handy stuff to help with greasy removal. cheers from Australia! 😁
Oven cleaner could also come in useful for those times when you used a little too much bbq sauce on those exhaust manifold brisket sandwiches..😉
@@pwatom22 haha! I'll stop stressing about the bbq sauce I might drip whilst doing the manifold on the TD5 in the next week or so then! .. I have a lot of oven cleaner just in case.
Thanks for the heads up! Do you use oven cleaner by itself or do you add in laundry detergents too? Thank you!
I was just coming to type that. I found that out the hard way - even if you get it out before it dissolves it turns it a rather horrible black colour.
But these parts are aluminium items! Have tried this on a carburettor and it was affected.
Sunday chemistry with professor Muth. Excellent job. When I used to clean car parts, I recycled a commercial dishwasher as it had a chemical rated pump and built-in heater. High pressure recirculating water helped clean gearboxes and heads
Brilliant as always. I was laughing so much, Christians humour is pin sharp! Never change its incredibly entertaining. Thank you guys
Love the Halfords box 🇬🇧😂
Didn't know they had Halfords in Germany!!!🤔
What is that box used for? We got it from a subscriber send to us with a transfer box in it. I use it for cleaning engine parts since…. Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian Pretty sure they are just heavy duty storage boxes, Christian.
Halfords is the name of a company that sells car parts, accessories and bicycles here in the UK. It is very well known but I would never use them for LR parts. They do things like fit light bulbs and drive belts for you. This must be one of their store delivery boxes when they re- stock. They are not sold. Regards to you both , David
The throttle flap also provides an area of low pressure behind it that sucks the exhaust gases into the intake stream. The O2 sensor will then look for the reduced oxygen content to confirm the EGR valve is operating correctly. If it doesn't see a change, it will store a DTC.
That manifold looks like aluminium, right? And did not dissolve....
Is that a manter of time?
I'd recognize that red-and-clear plastic handled Sears Craftsman flathead screwdriver you used to punch the bolts out anywhere ... I've had two of them in my toolbox since I was a kid in the US, and over 50 years later still have them here in Germany. I'm certain I've used it 20% for actual screwdriving/removal, 80% everything else!
I have these since 1996. All still intact and rarely used as screw drivers. Christian
😂I thoroughly enjoyed that. It’s made my morning. Great entertainment filled with brilliant tips and tricks
The company I used to work for used a mixture of Simple Green and water, heated in a dip tank with agitation. It cleaned steel framing squares as well as aluminum ones very well. I also use Simple Green at home as a cleaner and degreaser. As a side note, Christian, I like your cool hat!
To add to the myriad recipes each individual user swears by, I used TCP. In Australia it's marketed as a general and pre-painting cleaner called Tricleanium Ultra, available at the hardware store. It was very very effective, i've also used it to strip paint off small parts by boiling in solution for a few minutes, no scraping or sanding required. BUT, it is nasty stuff. I didn't wear gloves because i'm an idiot and I basically had hands covered in paper cuts for a week.
Love you guys. And Bunnings are open on Sundays Down-Under
And you can get a cheap sausage and bread too 🙂
A smartest way to clean stubborn dirts on the intake manifolds using basic household cleaning agents with an aid of garden submersible pump to create agitation. Great job again!
ITS LR TIME😊😊😊 what a great cleaning hack.ive just changed the throttle body on my 2013 sdv6.i still have the old one,so iam going to clean it the christian way!!! Your parts must be cheaper in germany,the same parts here in ireland are twice your price.very entertaining video.see you guys next week😅😅😅
Wonderful job, science and humour; as always!
Thanks.
I've just cleaned the aluminium intake of 27 years and 140000 miles, (250000 km) of my 300 TDI.
I used cheap £1 cans of oven cleaner, and it worked really well also.
Yes it can corroded the Aluminium, but it didn't and did a decent job, but not as good as your drain cleaner with circulating pump 👍
The way I understand it from high school chemistry, mixing Sodium Hydroxide (Drāno/lye oven cleaner) with Potassium Hydroxide (the soft soap) actually creates a light exothermic reaction which makes the former cut the grease better. You are entirely correct to keep cautioning throughout your video about how careful one has to be with eye and lung protection, and as you said later, start water first, caustic second to keep down any dust.
Sundays LR Time and a glass of wine makes me appreciate my LR3 everytime.
Awesome informative and hilarious episode !!!
Walter would be proud. 😊
Come to think of it, Christian does look quite similar to Walter White 🤔
Great video as always and what an outstanding result 👌
It was nice to see your episode again. I also buy one more new set, install the new one, and wash and replace the removed one periodically. See you next sunday!
I am so happy that Christian did not find this tips on an Toyota web zite/forum 😀🤣😅😁 I love your videos !
The laundry detergent acts to soften the water and the surfactants bind to the oil residues allowing it to dissolve in the water. The sodium hydroxide acts like a turbocharger to the laundry detergent by raising the ph level but dont use this solution on anything with aluminum parts because it will attack and dissolve them.
Thx you Professor Christian, it is just too funny I have exactly all the ingredients right down to the pump to perform this job, i just don't own a Discovery 3 and very few diesels ever came to Canadian shores, always the petrol engines sold here ,the Heisenberg Hack pretty awesome 👍
To reduce the intake manifold oil residue have you considered a Mann+Hummel's Provent catch can in the pcv line? Many Landcruiser owners fit one to significantly reduce the oily residue being passed through the intercooler and intake manifold.
A what cruiser? But thanks for the heads up anyway.
@@murphy5267 dont be stupid!
There is nothing ever boring with you guys .
Great information thanks. A bit of farm hack for you diesel tank you can run diesel fuel through your pressure washer, I caught the dirty diesel and run it back through the pressure washer for a few hours to clean a tractor diesel tank that was dirty, I used a filter to get most of the junk out before it went back in the pressure washer. I kept all 🔥 away , works great .
Very interesting video. On my diesel engine I but a can of BG244 in with the fuel about once or twice a tear (depending on milage - about every 5,000 miles) and it keeps the engine clean and running smoothly. 👍
You're deluding yourself. Nothing from the fuel tank ever enters the intake manifold of a direct injection engine, diesel or petrol. The burned BG244 in the exhaust gases can not ever stop exhaust gas mixing with oil mist in the intake and creating sludge.
Sunday saved once again. Thank you guys!
That Laundry detergent works so well, And In the words of Jesse Bruce Pinkman. You know its good because it’s blue b hatch”.
Thank you guys ❤
Vera has great life advice, Keep your hose in 😉
Watching you guys always makes me laugh, it did a pretty damn good job at cleaning.
That was crazy clean! It certainly beats using a medea blaster or anything like that. Just a few household chemicals, a pump - even a cheap 12v bilge pump and a container and you have what you need.
Those uk Halfords crates get everywhere, we have about 20 here in Australia. Essential LR repair equipment 😊
cleaning intake manifolds for BMW is indeed an important discussion, we got stuck with my wifes 120d in camps bay south africa, smoke billowing from under the bonnet and from underneath the car at the back because our intake manifold had literally combusted... burnt to a crisp. this was 1 year after BMW messed with the EGR setup. but they were good about it and repaired everything at no cost to me even though the vehicle was out of warranty. (i can be very persuasive) - this just for info as to why it is indeed very important to clean the intake setup. by the way, loved the walter white reference :)
This channel is like a Haynes manual for Discovery's...only more entertaining.
Easy-Off oven cleaner, the good 3 minute version what comes in a yellow can (not the standard blue one), works extremely well too. But I don't know if it's available off the shelf in Europe. I've tried many of our off the shelf (US) drain cleaners before and maybe ours are too full of other chemicals (it's hard to find just plain 100% sodium hydroxide here) that don't play well with certain materials. Not sure what that's about, but the 3 minute Easy-Off is my at home go-to. I've managed to make pretty much unusable parts look brand new with it. Just putting that out there for anyone state-side looking for the same results and process Christian used who's unable to find an appropriate drain cleaner.. Almost everyone carries Easy-Off though
Thanks for the good tip from state side LR drivers. Christens hack would get us a visit from the local DEA Lack of Humor Agency. Easy OFF is a better alibi. Walter would be proud btw.
@@murphy5267 You're right, out DEA probably wouldn't laugh at the "I'm not dissolving a throttle body!" joke 🤣
Great video. Even school chemistry class teaches water first, caustic second.
I was a bad pupil. No interest in chemistry. Christian
maybe, but your an outstanding engineer.
Just another great sunday morning coffee. Happy Trails.
Tutte manutenzioni davvero utili . Le metteremo in pratica sul nostro discovery3
Well I am a chemist and Australian so I watched your video with lots of OMG! through my fingers as I covered my face. Then watched as you put the Simpson desert a few thousand kilometres further east. Sodium Hydroxide (caustic soda) is great for breaking down grease and oil. Heat helps alot so the pump warming the liquid would have made a big difference I think. Glad it worked out well.
The Muth's, you got to love them.
That's an awesome trick, I'll be putting that one into the memory bank
I loved that thanks, it made my day. Now for the DPF clean.
Well done! I am in the process of rebuilding the top end of our Honda pilot (J35A9) and have ran all the upper intake, PCV, heads, valve covers, bolts etc, through a 40KhZ Ultrasonic using Orange ZEP at 80deg C, and can tell you 1000% percent that this would have saved me LOADS of time.
What fun you guys have in your garage! I wonder if putting the parts in the dishwasher with a handful of dishwasher tablets would work in the same fashion? They're caustic, and there's a pump and all the trimmings in there... I better try it in my brother's house, as he has a better dishwasher than me ;)
Thanks for all the laughs and all the things we learn along the way.
Yes, this may work at your brothers house. Put the sodium hydroxide in and wait 😂. Christian
It works😊
You’ll have. A better one than him afterwards
I love this humor. Informative and entertaining. Cheers from Seattle
Who’d have thought that the chap who came up with the principle of uncertainty for sub atomic particles developed a recipe for cleaning gunged up inlet manifolds.
Brilliant - Loving the comedy and innovation!
You guys make my Monday mornings. My wife no longer disapproves of my regular watching of your channel as she can see how entertaining (and informative) it is. I too have a 2006 TDV6 Disco 3. It has completed 180,000 miles and is still going strong - and I love it. FYI .... I took delivery of an Ineos Grenadier last week and love it but I cannot bring myself to sell the Disco. In fact, I would love it if you could do the same brilliant overhaul of my car as you are doing with Vera's. Any chance??
😅👍unfortunately not.🙋♀️
Wow! So good! I usually take the manifolds to the local DIY car wash as they have oil separators in the drains. I have stainless steel pot scrubber pads that I pull through the intake runners with wire, I have brushes, etc. And I do not get the intake 1/10th as clean as you guys just did.
The worst was, a few years ago when I did the injectors on my daughters Freelander 1 TD4 and took my usual trip to the car wash with the manifold, I lost control of the manifold (holding foot slipped) while shooting the pressure washer down the intakes after doing a bunch of scrubbing. A huge stream of very black water/detergent/soot/oil/disgusting poop shot back out of one of the intake runners and hit my more or less squarely in the face. I have NEVER been so disgustingly dirty in my entire life. I finished my cleaning (and even had to pressure wash the inside of the cleaning bay as I had covered the walls and ceiling with the same mess), took most of my clothes off, wiped my face with my t-shirt and drove home mostly naked. Luckily there was nobody else in the car wash when I was cleaning up. My wife did not know whether to laugh or cry when I got home... 8-o
I will DEFINITELY try this method the next time. :-))
@Benjamin-cd8vk WTEverlovingF?
At first I was uncertain but watching this excellent video took all the uncertainty away.
Heisenberg Rules, (probably)
The perfect channel for a Sunday morning, great job you two🥰🥰🥰🥰
You are a wealth of information you must come to Australia one day ❤
Before this decade is over…
After Henning Wehn, you folks are the funniest Germans I've seen, thanks for making this great tutorial and it's very amusing too.
THIS MAN KNOWS HIS LAND ROVERS AAAAAAAAAAAA
Thank you, Christian. I will remember this for future reference.
I'm just wondering what to use on metal/aluminium manifold.
very good video , the hat was a great touch ,,walter !!
Great tips as always. Looking forward to seeing the Disco back on the road.
As a german Eingeborener I have to say that you imitate the german accent quite perfect!
Thanks !
Always informative and entertaining
Great video again and hilarious end about the car dept in your grocery store 😂😂😂😂
LOL Sodium Hydroxide is the primary degreaser used in old Hot Tanks soaking type or jet wash, the laundry detergent is only being used as a wetting agent and buffer to the harsh base.
Excellent tip Christian this black stuff is among the nastiest stuff known to Man. I did my timing belt on my D4 last week and accidentally got some of this black stuff on the floor of the house, luckily brake cleaner brings it off. I was not popular for a couple of days.
Thank you for your service!!! Haha, on a serious note, I love watching your channel and learning lots also!
I had an E46 M54 plastic manifold that was bad like this. I wish I would've seen this video a year ago.... I paid a machine shop to clean it and it was NOT as good as this video. Looking forward to my next time so I can used this method.
I use dishwashing machine blocks cheapest ones with hot water works well on DPFs as well
Hi Vera and Christian your channel is brilliant!! 2 quick questions 1/ Can you use the Heisenberg method to clean the EGR valves out, would they continue to work and save you replacing them with new ones? 2/ have you replaced on your discovery 3 2.7 either of the rear wheel bearings as from other channels it appears you have to remove the bearings manually with sleeve pullers and pushers, I cannot see you’ve covered this in any of the very many of your brilliant videos ? I have to do this on my vehicle and really want to watch what you guys do as you are the “bible” for DIY mechanics. Plus you two are so funny each video is a really positive experience brilliant thank you so much :-)
Great hack. I used Ryan's outback discovery method and used oven cleaner and it was excellent 👍I couldn't believe how clogged it was😱
Good afternoon professor 👨🏫 Muth lol 😆 Sunday afternoon for a school lesson on cleaning 🧼 the intake manifold on Vera’s LR 😊 Love the hat Christian 🤣
Good job Walt 😊
Very informative Christian, it'll work not just on Land Rovers 👍
known as Caustic soda. On higher performance engines such as VW or Audi the run away function is controlled by an anti studder valve.
I didn’t recognise this as an LR Time vid without the normal yellow text thumbnail format! I skipped over it several times!
Now that's a very handy hack
Thank you
Brilliant, love your dry humour. Keep on making entertaining videos. Gary
Hi Christian. Ich habe es mit Kaltreiniger gemacht und es hat auch funktioniert.Schönen Sonntag
Great video, unfortunately my wife uses tablets in our washing machine 😂
Just FYI that NaOH - Sodium Hydroxide - is commonly known as Caustic Soda in English regions. It's a good traditional paint stripper as well as a drain cleaner.
A fish tank with circulating pump would be ideal !
We use Dawn dish soap and water. scrape out as much carbon and soak in hot water with dish soap. Trying to get them totally clean is redundant as it will become dirty again as soon as you start the vehicle.
yes thats nice and clean I did my wife Volvo EGR cooler and valve by soaking them with acatate..Cellulose paint thinners it took 24 hrs but it wa spot last at the end, and a £1400 job cost me only £20
Love you're style good tip for decarbonization
I soaked my disco 2 td5 aluminium manifold in diesel over night and achieved a similar result and did not cut into my beer drinking time .
The Air Valve and the EGR valve blend fresh air and exhaust gases to help reduce NOX in the exhaust. A bit like a hot and cold tap on a sink.
Excellent video thank you.
Would be interesting to try this on the cylinder head inlet ports of direct injection petrol? Cut up a scrap manifold and modify it with two ports - bolt this adaptor to the head - ensuring that cylinder has closed valves! And flow through a drain cleaner concoction!
2 long cycles in the dishwasher deals with the throttle body. Especially if you remove the EGR injectors. Just do it when SWMBO is away.
Thanks Heisenberg
Interesting article but I think I will stick with mineral turpentine for cleaning engine parts. If you find your inlets closed down with carbon you can also vacuum the soft carbon out with a 19mm plastic hose without too much trouble. Once the "Y" piece is off you can get a fair way down into the manifold. Use soft plastic hose and you cause any problems.
Chemistry is fun! Well done!
Super entertaining and insightful as always
Brilliant! Mechanical genius and now chemical magician 😂
If the credits wouldn't go to Mr. Heisenberg, I'd call you a hero! 🙂 👍
Just FYI: Although I don't know whether it applies here, I remember and old saying from my chemistry lessons at school: "Erst das Wasser dann die Säure - sonst geschieht das Ungeheure!" 😲
Coke next to it and confuse the two. 😂
Love you guys great rebuild
From what I saw when purging a clogged drain, warm water speeds up/improves the reaction.
Honestly, I feel like if something can be cleaned or repaired, that is better than throwing an otherwise good part in a landfill. Western cultures have become too "disposable". Well, I guess the whole rebuild of the D3 is really the same. Many people would send an old rig to the crusher instead of fixing. That would be a shame. Good job, prof. Christian!! 👍
Absolutely, these vehicle traits are more valuable to keep going than to throw away
Hi Christian, I have great respect for you (you managed to get your hands on Vera for starters), but that process looked extremely dangerous. Makes me wonder if cooking meth would be less risky...
Great hack Christian, thanks for the info!
Did you think about maybe putting it in the dishwasher (when Vera isn't looking)? My wife was out the other day. I messaged her for the correct dishwasher setting for cleaning old VW hubcaps... Oh, how she laughed....
Subscribed! a little banter while wrenching, can't get better than that! take it serious but don't take it too serious 😏
Just found your channel.
Great video, it will be very useful in future.
With love I'd like to suggest getting a microphone on your collar ❤
Just subed to your channel. Its very informative and amusing. I don't even have a Dico lol
You both sound like scientists from the German heavy water manufacturing plant.
