Test dipping in citric acid. Thatīs also in Coke ::)  Dipped block in lye (NaOH) and citric that was so rusty, oily and painted before... Lye removes dirt and paint, citric removes rust. Phosphoric acid leaves protective surface, but citric leaves clean that rusts quicly again.
Test dip with aluminium part and phosphoric acid.

Whether you hot tank it or clean it yourself, make sure to clean out the oil galley. There's a couple plugs you need to remove and replace to do this.

1991 Jetta TD - sold :(
