disclaimer : i dont benefit financially over the products that i recommend. i'm sharing with you because it really works.
why new car feels new ?? because all the parts inside is still not clogged up. you can make your 5year old car feel new again, 10year car bigger difference !!!! i've got a few cars that is near to 100,000km, other near to 200,000km. i've got rid of sluggishness, even better fuel economy, better response, car feels like NEW again.
i've been looking for options beside overhauling what can be done by DIY and done it on all of my 3 cars (no need go workshop and can be done cheaply. slightly more than RM 100 only) typically mechanics will ask us to overhaul everything. (or minimum overhaul top of your engine)
you can refer this video for the steps. listen to the before and after engine sound @ 8:40 onwards. this is full treatment (ignore Lucas oil part)
this video is engine treatment only. still need to do intake valve. compression test higher, engine internally is cleaner. although cant beat whole engine overhaul, this is just a fraction of what a complete overhaul will cost. plus you can do this every year once your car feel sluggish again
to explain the how our engine works. we have plenty of valves, moving parts, clean air recirculating, exhaust air recirculating, oil injections in our engine. it's very complex and you dont have to know it all.
all you got to know is that dirty things clogs up your car like cholesterol clogs up your heart, your arteri, veins and others. this is to clear all the carbon and whatever shit which clogs up your engine and related systems
below these are the pictures of engine internally. maybe around 30,000km it start to build up (yeap, this is how internally your car looks like)

EGR valve, recirculates incomplete fuel burn to burn again. this is how it looks like after 50,000km or
intake valves
throttle body
Economics & other benefits.

1. a fraction of what you paid for at workshop asking the mechanics to fix these might set you maybe about RM 1,200 (walnut blasting valve, EGR cleaning, combustion chamber cleaning, fuel injector cleaning, yes their job might be cleaner, better, but heck you can do this every 30,000km without breaking your wallet !!!!
2. better fuel economy. better throttle response. your car will feel lighter, your car will push when you pedal it lightly, and this will make up for the fuel economy because you no longer have to step kawkaw for the car to overtake or to overcome sluggishness
3. AVOID KANA PARANG1 there are many many sensors internally in your engine. they get dirty, then you get the "Check engine light" and your wallet will burn a hole because you will ended up changing a lot of things which are related. you confirm KANA PARANG when that light turns on. later mechanics ask you do engine overhaul, seal leaking, plus a lot of nonsense.
4. AVOID KANA PARANG2 throttle body dirty will cause your car to jerk, or die when AC kick in. so you think is alternator problem, later battery problem, spark plugs problem plus other problems. KANA PARANG again.
5. a lot of services outside cant cover everything lets say HHO decarbonization does the same for effect for intake, valve and EGR cleaning. But it cant clean the gunk inside your engine, cant clean fuel line. there are multiple systems that need servicing. so thats why going to the mechanic will cause thousands if want to cover so many things.
so how do you do the treatment ??

refer to this picture. Items can get from AceHardware. RM 50+ per can.
1. Seafoam engine treatment (white cap liquid) (can be replaced with GumOut if you could find them) 2. Seafoam spray (black cap spray)
What it does ?? Cleans 1. fuel injector 2. valve 3. EGR valve 4. throttle body 5. loosen up all the gunk in your engine 6. cleans sensors
so how to use it ??
Seafoam engine treatment. 1. wait until your last petrol fill up before changing engine oil. drive until your petrol almost empty. POUR HALF into your fuel tank. this will help to clean fuel injectors. 2. balance half pour into engine oil service hole.
Seafoam Intake spray 1. drive your car until the day you want to bring it for service. 2. remove your hose connecting to throttle body (which your intake connects to), then put in the thin tube, warm up engine and maintain at 2500rpm, spray in few bursts until whole can is finished. 3. then turn off engine let it soak for 15minutes. 4. go rev the shit out of your car, you'll see lots of white smokes * might get check engine light on because air sensor detects some error. but it's normal and the error you can ask your mechanic to turn it off during service.
then drive to mechanic there and ask them to change engine oil TWICE if you havent done it for long time. why twice ?? because the first new engine oil will turn into coca cola colour after 15minutes, so need to change oil twice then put in new ones.
seafoam spray tutorial
you can refer this video for the steps. listen to the before and after engine sound. this is full treatment
this video is engine treatment only. still need to do intake valve

car jerking at low RPM, AC turned on and kill engine during idle
throttle body is the control centre for the air intake, when u press on pedal throttle body will open its mouth if the jerk is coming when it's low RPM (idling), so the throttle body is not functioning well as it could not maintain smooth airflow. either throttle body or the MAF sensor (mass airflow sensor, detect volume of air going into intake) there going crazy. (sensor can get dirty as well, or fail)
When turn on AC, the drag simply pulls the engine and kills it. nothing to do with AC, it's the throttle body cant maintain its function.
better to service it and see got difference or not. some mechanics might ask you to ended up changing throttle body, MAF sensor, but the problem is just that it's dirty.
watch this if your engine is jerking when idling.

go AceHardware buy it. im not selling it but i've done it on all my cars d
Really? Ace Hardware? Could not find in Lazada/Shopee/Lelong. How much per set? Are you using all three bottles?
There's one to put in fuel tank. One to put where the enging oil goes. I'm not quite sure about the last one, you spray it into the air intake as the engine is running? I'm not sure where to spray in Iswara.

yes AceHardware sells RM 50+ per bottle. lazada is double.
first liquid bottle put half in fuel tank, must wait until whole tank almost empty 2nd half put in engine oil there.
2nd spray bottle spray at intake manifold there (go watch the youtube vid), but must warm up engine and increase rev, if not engine mati. spray d, rev kawkaw let everything out
then go drain everything out of your car, change new oil twice if u havent done it before. new 15min oil will look like 4month old oil (kopi) thats how dirty it is, carbon all out

Last year I bought it from Ace HW it was almost RM60 per bottle. I bought 2 bottles, only used one, another one still unopened. I'm not sure if it actually helped, but the smoke accidentally showed a leak in my exhaust so yeah, it led me to fix that. Haha

engine treatment also must add because it helped to flush injector, cleans engine. imagine the engine run 130,000km without doing flush. the gunk inside engine block is like sticky like mud. (peep inside the engine oil hole and saw the mud on the valves, yuckkkk !!)
i've added engine treatment to my gf car (pour in liquid) and after 2-3days can feel throttle response is so much better. press pedal and the car immediately pull forward. before adding, the power kick in like 1.5second later after step the pedal, and need to press down a lot for the gearbox to shift. dont dare to overtake cuz the power lags
waiting for this tank of petrol to run finish then will do the intake treatment next.

Yeah, last time saw Chris Fix channel comparison of few product on the combustion chamber cleaning, this product beats Techron and few others for the combustion chamber cleaning power...

i asked some mechanics they dont even know got such product in the market. or they pretend dunno ?? anway i told my mech that i used intake sprays, he told me after add in all the products eats into the petrol cost. but seriously after adding no regrets cuz the car runs so much better.

Eric the car guy said use plain water also can.
if engine not hot enough, water can damage it, better use back petroleum based. anything it burns out through exhaust.
dis mostly works in DI engines, for FI engines the fuel itself will clean the carbons in valves, intake etc, so for FI engines do italian tuneup is enuf ledi

all modern cars are DI. our car design recirculates the exhaust for better complete burning to reach better fuel economy, cleaner emissions (to comply to better emission standard).
problem is those re-circulation will clog up sensor, prevent smooth airflow, dirty intake valves plus others.
