Component cleaning

fozzydj · 05-25-2019, 01:18 PM

Hi guys,

Wondered if anyone had any tips.

Stripping down my 2007 335i to replace turbos/oil pan gasket etc and wondered how best to clean the greasy, oil residue inside the charge pipe etc. I want to give everything a good spruce up while its off.

Ive hammered degreaser spray inside them that breaks it down but need to get in with something abrasive to remove it, any little tips or tools that'll help?

Have you tried brake cleaner?
