My 1.4 Brava is coming up for an oil change and I am aware of the issues with blocking of the spray bar and oil starvation to the cam etc. I am considering having an engine flush prior to the new oil being put in.
I have heard of people having problems (e.g. tappets being noisier than before or in some cases a seize up) after an engine flush due to loose "gunge" being left behind & blocking oil ways etc. Has anyone on the forum come accross such problems? Would it be a good idea to do a second oil change shortly after to ensure that all the gunk is out? Is it worth cleaning the spray bar regularly?
Any comments or opinions gratefully received.
Thanks
