Avoid engine flushes at all costs.
If you want to do a quick safe flush try this;
Change the oil and filter.
Run a 10w30 oil in there for 500 miles.
Change it.
Do this again twice.
Your engine is now clean inside.
Honest!

I recommend BG Prodcuts oil service. It's a pressurized system that flushed the system. A local Audi dealer in my area has the system, but if you call your local dealer ask for it by name or go to BGFINDASHOP.COM so see who around you uses the products.

Keep doing it, the detergents in the oil will clean everything out in time.
To save some cash I'd run a quality conventional oil in there until things got a little cleaner.
However, remember its the oil's job to get dirty. If its dirty, it means that its not letting dirt settle on parts inside the engine.
