I just had my intake manifold replaced on a 2011 GTI under the extended warranty, and while they were in there, I asked for the carbon cleaning.
The dealer charged $405 for the cleaning, and mentioned without the manifold labor being covered under warranty, the cleaning would have been like $1000.
Just throwing out what I paid, and hoping to help someone looking to have it done but not go the DIY route. I had the service done at a dealer in Beaverton, OR.
I was surprised that they did not take a pic of the cleaned intake after they were done, as they had taken a pic to show me how bad the carbon was built up prior to me agreeing to the $405 charge.
Take care everyone.
