You own the world’s most popular car. Newer Volkswagens are not your grandfather’s bug. Just 10 years ago the “people’s car” introduced direct fuel injection in their fuel management system. Let’s explain that in laymen’s terms. This system injects fuel directly into the combustion chamber controlling the flow of fuel into the cylinder.
Just in case your head is spinning what that means is greater efficiency from your VW! You will notice more power and less visits to the gas station. Before this, the injectors were located in the intake manifold and fuel was injected into the cylinders PRIOR to the intake valve. With direct injection carbon tends to build up on the intake valve which interferes with drivability.
What does this mean to you? It means that as early as 20,000 miles some engine intake manifolds need to be removed and the carbon manually removed. That is where Jim Liacos comes in. He and his crew at Jims Auto Service 3711 Tarheel Drive performs this service along with Oil Changes and much more. They are Raleigh’s Volkswagen repair experts.
