I have yet to fix a check engine light due to a carbon build-up. I have fixed a 600 for no compression due to carboned up (stuck) rings and the same on about six other late model BMWs and Jags.

I would be real interested in the concept behind this. What are we trying to accomplish by removing the carbon? Do we have a knock sensor problem? Just what is this carbon doing?
