where is carbon building up?

Concern about buildup in the intake, I have an 2006, read that walnut blasting is the way to go. I can probably go the BG or motorvac route but I think the walnut blasting would be more thorough, Thks for the help

To be honest, not 100% on the process, I read that bmw owners has had success with walnut blasting cleaning up the carbon buildup deposits in their direct injection engines. I'm definitely not doing this myself so looking for a shop that would offer this service for Lexus owners, thks

Im a BMW tech and Im familiar with walnut blasting. Youll take off the intake manifold and blast the valves and then just clean up everything else.

Yep....just what he said...call a local shop that specializes in BMWs...tell them what you want and they will let you know if they are up to tackling the job.
