Carbon build-up in DI engines

VW/Audi have addressed the build - up problem in the newest designs. That being said its not a game ending deal to have this problem. You figure maybe once in the life of the car you will have to clean. Most folks just dont keep them that long to begin with. I wont have my GTi until 100kmiles. If I do it would be a MIRACLE

Yeah. A lot of people keep them forever or find something new. I know I had about 53k miles on mine before I sold it for the Z. Wound up doing a valve cleaning right around 48k but there wasn't anything I didn't dislike about the car. Just wanted something new.
