Default Engine flush worth it?

When I bring my 98 Passat Wagon in for service, the dealer tries to sell
me an "Engline Flush". Best I can tell from the literature is that it
uses some 3M product that's supposed to flush out "gunk" from the engine.

Question is: is it worth the US$65 or so they're charging and how often
is an engine flush necessary?
