What is the best product to flush engine sludge from an engine?

Flushing sludge from your engine is not a very smart thing to do. Almost every automotive technician will agree with that. Flushing out an engine causes all the sludge to drain down into the oil pan. Which in turn tends to plug up the oil pick up and causes engine damage.

Does the v6 passt have engine sludge?

While a V6 Passat can sludge (as can any engine), it is not nearly as common as sludge issues on the turbocharged 1.8 liter engines. The reason for the difference is that the heat from the turbo, combined with an inadequate oil capacity (under 4 liters) breaks down the oil and forms sludge. The V6 engine, being a non turbo and having a larger oil capacity is less prone to sludge. However, as is the case with any engine, prolonged oil change intervals and cheap oil/filters will increase the risk of sludgeing over time.

What would cause a buildup of sludge inside engine?

A buildup of sludge inside an engine can be caused by several factors, including inadequate oil changes, which allow contaminants and debris to accumulate. Poor-quality oil or incorrect viscosity can also contribute to sludge formation by failing to properly lubricate and clean the engine. Additionally, operating the engine at low temperatures or short trips that don't allow it to reach optimal operating temperature can lead to condensation and moisture buildup, further promoting sludge development. Over time, these factors can significantly hinder engine performance and longevity.
