2003 Jetta TDI - How to stop carbon build-up?

best thing to do is take it out every week or so on the highway wait
till its warm then hold the revs high for a while,if its an auto u may
wanna downshift a gear, keep the revs no higher than 5k but above 3500,
most volkswagon engines are screamers and work better when they r
reved higher

The TDIs are diesels and I would guess that running them at high RPMs is
more likely to cause build up.
