Why Book Us

‘Diagnose running issues, restore power, performance, fuel economy and lower emissions. It's essentially a health check and detox for your vehicle.’

Our cleaning service helps save money on fuel, provides a smooth, quiet and responsive drive and can help deal with issues such as MOT emissions failures or sticking turbos.

An Engine Carbon Clean will help reduce soot levels entering the EGR/DPF and inlet manifold in future.  This helps reduce the frequency of DPF regeneration – the DPF will last longer and saves fuel with fewer regenerations.

The diagnostics can identify issues that may be causing the symptoms, plus other hidden issues before they become a problem.

See some Examples…

Our service includes a full diagnostic consultation to identify issues that need addressing by the seller or under warranty. 

Avoid running into problems by identifying if you have had your DPF removed for example, failed sensors which may lead to DPF blockages in future and failed components such as catalytic converters, etc.

If everything looks good then get it cleaned up for the road ahead.

See some Examples…

Avoid failure or turn that fail into a pass.

MOT failure or general smoke issues will be down to either a failed or malfunctioning component/sensor (which we can often identify with our diagnostics), thermostat or carbon buildup.

With increased mileage then a dirty combustion chamber causing over fuelling will increase emissions which we can clean up with the Engine Carbon Clean.

See some Examples…

If you are planning a modification or remap then you should get any faults diagnosed and recover lost power first before adding more.

By cleaning it up and get it breathing properly the extra work the turbo has to do post-remap won’t stress the turbo as much. Extra important if you are having a custom map on a rolling road as it is best to map a clean car rather than a dirty one.

See some Examples…

A proper diagnosis is essential to correctly tackle running issues.

If for example you are having DPF issues we can help, quite often just with diagnosing the underlying issue with NO NEED FOR A DPF CLEAN.

Limp mode issues can be due to sticking turbos, sensors or leaks for example.

Sticking turbos can often be resolved with an Engine Carbon Clean.

See some Examples…

A diagnostics is essential to understand why.  Many times the DPF will be struggling or unable to regenerate due to a faulty sensor or component.  In this case no matter how you drive it the DPF will not regenerate and will lead to a blocked DPF.  Once diagnosed the faulty parts can be fixed and regeneration can work again.

If DPF back pressure / soot content is already too high then fixing the underlying issues will still not allow regeneration.  A DPF Clean (unblock) is a last resort option in this case.

How and why does carbon affect my vehicle?

All combustion engines whether petrol, diesel, LPG, methane, hybrid, new or old, over time gather carbon deposits – it is a natural product of burning fuel.

A dirty engine has to work harder and uses more fuel, vibrates causing noise, shake and lumpy running and increases emissions eventually causing MOT failure. The more it shakes the more it will wear components such as engine mounts, clutches, etc.

An example of buildup present in the inlet pipework of a BMW 320d. This buildup is a combination of oil, grease, water vapour and carbon which has gathered from a combination of short journeys, poor quality fuel (with little/no additives present) and a dirty engine with increased emission levels. Regular engine cleaning would have helped prevent this gathering.

Why does it seem like this is only a recent issue (compared to 50 years ago)?

In the past cars just dumped a lot of this carbon out through the exhaust, but as fuel economy and emission targets have got stricter over the years engine components have added in order to keep the soot within the vehicle rather than passing it out through the exhaust.

Adrian came to my address to carbon clean my engine on my Subaru today . He was prompt and and very helpful with all the information about the carbon cleaning he provides . While the process was... being done Adrian explained everything he was doing and I was able to see and hear the difference as the engine began to run more smoothly and freely . The car drives and feels so much better and my mpg has gone up . I highly recommend having it done to anyone. Thanks Adrian.read more

Had my C Class Merc, with 75k miles on the clock, given an engine clean by Adrian last month, as my mpg had got noticeable lower in the last 12 months. Since the clean the mpg has improved by 19%,... back to the levels I was getting when I first bought the car. Well worth the money as getting around 100 miles more on a full tank when doing longer distance trips. Adrian very efficient and also gave helpful advice about which fuel to use and when best to tank up.read more

This is the second time I have used Adrian for different vehicles . I was really impressed when I used him initially and definitely felt that he offered value for money . I have read negative reviews... regarding carbon cleaning of engines but I very impressed with the improved performance . Whilst performing the service Adrian also helped to diagnose an intermittent idling issue which four garages (two JLR specialists) were unable to do . Very impressed with result and overall performance of vehicle . Would highly recommendread more

Iv used Adrian in the past and has always been great this time I let him loose on my audi rs5 sad he certainly made my car happy. She had a judder and after a full carbon clean she was purporting... with no issues. Adrian used full protection to protect the car body from the hoses and was very helpful and polite, he comes highly recommended and will always use him to clean my car engine's. Thanks Adrianread more

I had Adrian come out to clean my engine. A vivaro on a 67 plate, the difference in driving it afterwards was significantly better. Smother response to the throttle. Adrain was also very... knowledgeable about his craft. Explained exactly what was going on. Also did a diagnostic and gave me the results. Highly recommended and I shall be using him again. Thanks Adrianread more

Incredible service. I can't believe how much improvement it's achieved just from a pipe shoved up the air filter for an hour. It's alleviated so many shakes and the whole engine and car is smoother.... It revs lower, shifts easier, accelerates quicker and smoother, has gained economy, and I'm sure will extend the working age of the vehicle. Forget recommendations, this is a necessity.
