Two questions I’m going to give this a go in a couple weeks while I don’t need the car daily… 1. If I run into the carbon issue where you can no longer crank the car by hand, and the valves are open but you can not crank the car… what to do? Just blow it out? 2. Of course you’d want the oil to be warm but is it better to just immediately drain the oil without even starting after doing this? Appreciate any help!

Hi, could you you please provide exact part number for B-12 you used, there is so many online, some legal in all states some not. Guess it has different chemical in. Please post a PN for stuff you have use 👏🏻

Good solution for this problem, now is custom made!

I bought my wife… I really don’t understand how these springs break 😂

I have the same issue with 2009 Volkswagen EOS VR 6 I fix.I change the rear links.Thank you

Never run a vehicle under load, as in drive it when an engine flush has been added. Unless you like to gamble on adding to the problem.

Hello, I did it too ,but code come out 2006 intake manifold runner control stuck closed bank 1 a.Engine works fine. I am wondering about if I did something with connection air filter and should be from this ?what is your advice?thanks

BMW N63TU owner here. This engine is notorious for oil consumption. Over the winter at 130k I replaced all 32 valve stem seals and was underwhelmed, even borderline upset, when I saw the oil consumption went from a quart every 200-300 miles to a quart every 500 miles. I thought this month-long process of changing the seals was the definitive fix for this. What didn’t click immediately was one weird thing: while changing the seals I would take an air nozzle to the cylinders to blow out any debris, and carbon would shoot out and sandblast my face. Most of the carbon was smaller sand-like particulate but there were larger chunks that blew out at first. As it turned out, burning oil for so long left significant carbon deposits on the piston crown and on the piston rings. I came across this video and knew exactly my issue was stuck rings, and so I bought six cans of B12 and did two 6-hour soaks while manually rotating the engine. A few cylinders were completely empty after a few hours and had to be topped off. After two days of soaks I suctioned out the remaining B12, changed the oil twice, and on the second refill used a newer (not BMW LL-01FE approved) engine oil targeted at reducing piston deposits. After 1,500 miles the oil level just ticked below the ‘full’ mark. Another observation I saw was checking the O2 sensors. Before the B12 both upstream sensors were sooty and black. 1,500 miles after the B12 treatment the passenger side O2 sensor was a white/gray as expected, but the driver side sensor was still sooty black. And so I’ll perform another two soak sessions on the driver side bank which will resolve all oil burning, likely making this the only non-oil burning N63TU with over 100k miles.

I have a 2.0t tsi ccta no oil pressure at idle replaced the oil pump and it seems like it struggles to go past 40 psi at 4,000 rpm

Sadly this didn’t fix my issue.. I use Berrymans total engine clean which I believe is the same as their b12 but it was brown instead of clear. My car issue: plugs are becoming soiled within a few miles of driving. Did the soak for 24 hours and covered the plugs with a towel and had no soot come out. It started on first try. Misfired and had white smoke. Cleared after a while but and plugs did look dry but still black. Kept driving locally for it to then start misfiring heavily again. Plugs kept soiling back up with one of them Still being a little wet. I used 2 cans of the berrysman total engine soak. Was hoping this would do it so I’m pretty gutted

Greatly improved on my 2019 Audi Q7. I can’t believe it, went from 400 miles per quart to now no sign of dipping after 400 miles. Thank you for making this.

This is excellent, when cranking the car without the plugs installed did you pull out the fuel pump fuse to stop the injectors spraying fuel in the cylinder?

OK I’ve seen similar videos. I’m gonna try this in a couple of months. I’ve got the king of the oil burners Toyota 2.4 L

Letting mine soak mine has got the same symptoms but on my cylinder with oil only has 30 pounds of compression

I’m trying this on my 2013 Hyundai veloster turbo. I’m having the same issues oil on cylinder 4 spark plug and oil in my intake valve. I pray this works for me

Will this work on any car

Where you located

I have oil on my cylinder two spark just like you and all the others are soiled black (these were brand new plugs a day ago) do I need to change the valve seals like you did or can I just do the b12 piston soak process instead?

I did the berrymans soak per instructions but used 3 cans over 48 hours. Before I crank the engine to flush out carbon before putting plugs back in and I tried to turn over crank one last time manually and now can’t get it to turn. I did use a bit more per cylinder than the first two cans in the last soak. I checked cylinders with dipstick and there is no fluid left. Will I damage anything trying to start engine without plugs since it won’t turn over by hand. Please advise!

My 2013 4motion R-Line Tiguan has had 6 spring replacements since 2013 and there's only 80,000 miles on the clock. VW springs are awful..

I need the center bearing for my W251 (R class) but I can’t find it anywhere

I've tried this last week on my Acura MDX and it start to have oil leak from rear main seal. I brought it to Canadian Tire and they said the cost is about 4K.

Going to try this on a 2017 Q7 I picked up for my wife. It burns somewhere around a quart per 700-1200 miles depending on city vs highway. So far, it seems to burn a lot more with strictly in town driving. I will update with the results! Thanks Eurotrash. Car is at 118k miles.

VW garbage

I did the piston soak with berrymans a week ago..i did a 24 hour cycle with one full rotation of the crank every 6 hours. Put back the original plugs and they misfired like crazy. Installed new plugs and cleared the codes. Car is running good now, used to burn a quart every 500 kms, now at 250kms and oil level is still at max. I had the berrymans in the oil for 80kms and changed oil and filter, the oil that came out was super black. Fresh amsoil european 5W40 FS oil in it now and amsoil filter. Let see how long before the oil low warning comes back on.

Just did mine, so far 200 miles and no sign of consumption. Mine took that long to start up as well. Thanks for the video

You skipped exactly what I'm having problems with. How did you get access to the nut on the rear of the upper driver's control arm bolt? My X164 has all kinds of crap blocking the way from above so I can't even SEE the nut with a flashlight, let alone got a socket on it to hold it and remove the bolt and hold one in place to put the new bolt in.

I found a lot of Berryman b12 products which one should I got to solve the oil issue in my audi, can you plz send a link or something?

Great job

Needs a B&G treatment.

My car was consuming 2 littres per 1k km. I sold the car and the problem was fixed

There is no way to get b-12 in Europe tryed on ebay twice none shiped because its hazard item idk what to try i ordered some toulene since this is 50% of b-12 and white spirit thinking of doing my own mix but im scared i will damage something i need help... also can you do piston soak with liquid moly pro engine flush or you only have to put it in oil or can you do an actual soak with it im hopeless please answer!

Hi, i can t get b12 in my country. Arbo engine flush can work? Or liqui molly engine flush? Or any orher valve cleaner? I ve tried with a valve clenaer spray but still without any result. It s a Q5 211cv.

It’s this type of people who give German cars bad names. They DIY stuff and then sell it to someone who will blame it on “manufacturer”. Americans and Canadians shouldn’t be allowed to own German cars.

I was adding 1 quart every 900 miles ,took it to the dealer since it is still under warranty. The dealer looked at it and said that they can’t find any issue , asked me to bring it back when the oil level is low again , I’m pretty sure the car is burning excessive oil and I don’t know why the dealer couldn’t find the issue

I have a Hyundai accent 2014 - around 120'000 km and it looses almost .5 to 1 liter of oil every week, Thanks for your super informative video,

So can we get an update video from the Owner being that it has been a month since this video was posted?

good and funny vid

Just put ramps under the tires only on one side and then do the same for the other side.

would it have been 'safer' to drain the oil and replace with recommended instead of running it with the barrymans mixed in the oil ?

I'm in the middle of doing my wife's car right now. I'm on my last two cylinders. One soak in and it won't turn past top dead center. Even after blowing tons of chunks out. Thinking the second soak will help. One thing I wish I would have done is made sure to only blow cylinders out while the valves were closed. It's possible I could blow something into the intake.

Hey, had an idea to share with you on soaking pistons in the V config for the future. I was think how to get the whole piston soaked, and I thought, well, why not use an old compression gauge hose, or leak down hose. Anyway, just thought I would share that thought. Catch ya later, and thanks again for the vids, Subbed.

Thanks! Just bought an audi a4 quattro, and as a mechanic and an enthusiast, you just confirmed what I suspected was possible. I haven't driven it yet because I got it cheap with 100k on it, and it needs a clutch, so I figured I would go ahead and do the timing chain to eliminate it as the owner told me he had never had it done, and he said never had the piston recall done. This thing is going to get a soak just out of principal while I do the chains since I am in no rush anyway. Thanks again.

I hope this works on my q7

I am at my wits end with mine. My 2.0 TFSI AUDI A5 plugs are soaked with black soot and one with oil only TWO days after changing. I normally went a few months before changing them, and now it’s a day or two before they’re covered. The car is misfiring. Should I try this as a last resort before selling as I’ve been told it’s not worth the engine rebuild repair bill

Do you have to turn engine over counter clockwise as stated in some of the comments?

What is the long term results of the B-12 engine soak? It's been a year since you posted your video. Thanks.

Clockwise turn or anticlockwise turn, would it matter matter even.

My 2011 A4 stops me from cranking the motor. Is there anyway around this?

Nice job man.
