Identify and resolve issues, restore fuel economy to save money on fuel, restore performance, pass MOT and avoid future repair bills

Keeping your engine cleaned helps prevent issues such as DPF issues, MOT emissions failures or sticking turbos.

Contact us now to get it running smooth and quiet again – restoring response, fuel economy and lowering emissions.

Our expert and friendly service has been awarded the coveted Which? Trusted Trader of the Month award twice.

Our IMI Certified service is about looking after the overall health of the vehicle, not just turning up to ‘perform a clean’.

Every booking starts with a health check, a diagnostic code scan of the entire vehicle looking for underlying issues (where applicable) and Live data diagnostics throughout to identify issues with injectors, fuel pumps, sensors, etc. which may not be logging errors.

Yes. All hydrocarbon engines create carbon build up depending on the mileage, driving style, journey length and fuel quality used.

You can clean petrol, diesel, LPG, hybrid or anything else such as methane.  Not just cars and vans, but we also work on boats, tractors, tanks, generators, landfill engines, anything really.

Typical symptoms include a decline in fuel economy, noisier engine, increased vibration, sluggish response and smoke/emissions levels.

As fuel economy and emission targets have got stricter over the years the engine components have been developed and added in order to keep the soot within the vehicle rather than passing it out through the exhaust. This then clogs up EGR valves, inlet manifolds and DPFs.

Most people are coming back for repeats approximately every 20-25k miles based on driving style, journey length and fuel quality.

It is best to time the diagnostic and clean just prior to a service or MOT if one is due.

If you have just bought a vehicle or warranty is due to expire then it is a perfect time to get it checked out and cleaned up.

Yes it does and it is very good at what it does as long as the relevant pre-checks are performed to ensure an effective clean and critically it is done by someone who is properly trained, certified, with the right approach and equipment.

An Engine Carbon Clean is great at cleaning up the back of a turbo, combustion chamber, injector tips, pistons, cylinders and cats to get a vehicle running smooth, quiet, responsive, economical and emissions friendly again, but will not clean up cold areas such as EGR valves or inlet manifolds and won’t unblock a DPF.

The only way to clean up these cold areas safely and effectively is a manual approach, e.g. strip and clean of the EGR or ‘walnut blast’ the inlet.

The Engine Carbon Clean is complementary to these manual approaches as they are targeted at different areas.

Cleaning up the combustion chamber cleans up the source of the dirt – this helps minimise future buildup in the EGR and inlet manifold as well as extends the mileage between DPF regenerations.

Why Book Us

A dirty engine has to work harder against the dirt. To do this it uses more fuel, vibrates more causing more noise, shaking and lumpy running and increases emissions eventually causing MOT failure.

The more it shakes the more it will wear parts such as engine mounts, clutches, etc. so combat this before it becomes a problem.

Prevention is better than repair!

A booking with us is essentially a health check and detox for your vehicle.

What We Offer

A fully insured mobile service for all combustion engines running petrol, diesel, LPG, hybrid no matter what age, engine size or mileage.

My Vw Transporter van was smoking very dense white/ Grey smoke. After contacting various Garages that could not get to the bottom of the problem, I contacted Adrian from carbon clean. He did a full... diagnostic and found that the PDF filer was completely full Suspected with Ash. He carried out a carbon clean and told me I need to find a garage that would remove it and completely was it out. The vehicle was taken and it was done. Not only did the vehicle have more performance but fuel economy has improved from 25mpg to 34mpg. The vehicle responds to throttle fantastically and the engine runs so smooth. I am so grateful to Adrian and highly recommend his diagnostic and his advice. I will certainly use him again should I need to .read more

Adrian completed an engine Carbon Clean on my 2011 Skoda. The engine was 'chuggy' with poor acceleration and low MPG. The process was explained and what outcomes I could expect. The diagnosis also... showed an issue I wasn't aware of.The clean was completed very professionally and thoroughly and I am thrilled with the results. The engine now runs more smoothly and the MPG is already rising.I am already recommending ECC to family and friends.read more

Been having various issues with my Skoda for a little while, after trying to research the problems myself and coming up with a million and one conclusions I decided to let someone else have a look.... One of the issues was poor fuel economy so I decided to get the engine carbon cleaned, after a bit of researching Engine Carbon Clean East Midlands seemed to be the best looking company! The Internet was right! From first contact to completing the job they were nothing but polite, professional and friendly. As well as carbon cleaning the engine they ran a full diagnostics on my car which brought up some interesting results (their words, it all went over my head). Through these results and me explaining the issues I'd been getting they came up with a possible answer to what was causing all my issues. They did not guarantee this was the problem but with their knowledge (which I would say is quite extent) they would think all my problems was starting with a worn turbo which then linked on to the other issues.After some umming & arring due to cost I decided to go to my mechanic and have the turbo removed and checked. I will not repeat the words of my mechanic but he found the turbo to be in a very bad way which surprised him!Would I recommend this company?100% YESIs their service value for money?200% YESApart from the cost of a new turbo I am a very happy customer who has already recommend Engine Carbon Clean East Midlands to my friends!read more

Didn't know what to expect owning a 19 year old Hyundai Tucson with 96000 miles but glad I had this treatment done. Adrian was very professional, explained how the process works and the results have... been fantastic. Engine seems smoother, power delivery livelier and mpg increased a little. Very happy.read more
