There have been several instances reported of Audi/VW supercharged engines having extremely high engine RPM during induction cleaning. This is due to a fault with the Audi/VW software not closing the throttle plate in these conditions. If aftermarket engine performance software is installed this problem is not present. With the engine being able to hit 6000 RPM to 7000 RPM during cleaning, ATS Chemical does not want these Audi/VW supercharged engines cleaned with the 3C cleaning system.
