If you have all taken a part , would say soak in diesel and then a lot of brake cleaner
-
Carb cleaner does the job, or a soak in diesel as suggested :y
-
Paint stripper works ok as well.
-
Alloy Foam Wheel Cleaner from Poundland and a paint brush, then just rinse off. :y
-
Cellelouse thinners.
-
Petrol. :)

the spray I meant is one that is sprayed direct into the inlet manifold in short 3 seconds bursts. a molyslip product. hey or nay.

Not for me, just rip the intake Hoses and Throttle Body off, give it a good clean, I can do a V6, Penlium off, TB's, front and back Multi Rams, breather pipes etc, within 30 to 40 mins, so a 2.2 shouldn't take more than 20 mins, proper job done rather than spraying and getting crap in your engine. :y

Carb cleaner from Halfords I find to be the best ;)

A year ago I inquired how much my Vx dealer would charge to clean my breathers; £200, but that was without TC!! ::) ::) ::) :o :o
Needless to say it is a job I still do myself ;)

Take a look at the pictures MDTM posted up of my (Zafira) DTi intake, that will answer:
1) Why such a product won't work
2) Why you wouldn't want it to work

I remember Mr DTM was most uncourteous about the Battlebus. He was calling it nasty names.
;D

Indeed, although now fully understanding the fuel system means that getting one running in the future would not present any great challenges.
As for getting rid of said crud, mechanical removal is what is needed for 99% of it.
