Diagnostic Consultation and Engine Carbon Clean on a Jaguar S-Type 2.7d V6 (2006 – 89,220 miles)

⚠️ DPF regenerating more often than it should? Get the source of the soot cleaned up with our Which? Trusted Traders approved service.

Here we have a lovely Jaguar S-Type 2.7d V6 (2006 – 89,220 miles) booked in after the owner had a few issues recently with a DPF problem. Having recently had a DPF almost block up and need some maintenance he decided to get in touch so we could give it a health check and get the source of the soot cleaned up.

Initial inspection of the engine bay found little of note, but on idle there was a tell tale bass note in the engine and on occasion what felt like an occasional brief lumpiness.

Initial diagnostics found a number of active and historic issues logged for other parts of the vehicle, but the engine section was clear. With those documented and cleared we proceeded to look through the live data.

Live data showed the DPF had last regenerated successfully 279 miles ago with an optimal distance of 403 miles between regens. EGR movement on both EGRs looked fine and temperatures all looked fine. We did notice injector 1 was a balancing a little higher than normal when idling at the start.

‍On with the clean and the bass note soon dissipated as the engine smoothed out and quietened down. Every now and again the lumpy idle appeared briefly, but this became less and less frequent as we proceeded. The balancing for injector 1 did trim in by the end, but we advised the owner to keep an eye on it in future.

Just had my car done by F5ECC. Adrian talked me though how the process works. This is the second Merc I have had done by him in 2020. C250cdi and now a C350e sport. Noticed straight away more mpg. The car felt a lot smoother on acceleration. I was quite shocked at how much quicker and responsive the car was when I put it in sport+. I highly recomend having this done. Alan Moore. 66 plate C350e 75000 miles.

Adrian came out and did a carbon clean on my Mercedes CLA45. If you've purchased a used car that's done a good amount of miles then I would highly recommend getting this done. It made all the difference to mine. Throttle response is better the car feels better as it climbs through the gears. Adrian was here for about an hour, was happy to talk through the process and shared diagnostic info straight to my phone. Really helpful and knowledgeable. Owen Moore.

I found this organisation on Google. It had great reviews and the service which I required which was a carbon clean. I found Adrian very helpful and knowledgeable. While he was carrying out the service he explained everything to me and how it works. The car feels better now with it being more responsive and quieter. I would recommend Adrian and his company to friends and family if they required his services. Thanks Adrian hopefully see you again sometime.

This was my first experience with F5 carbon and DPF clean. I was a little desperate as I had been let down twice by a larger franchise company. Mark the technician managed to fit me in at short notice, what a stroke of luck for me I found Mark to be an extremely knowledgeable and professional guy. After running the diagnostic and clearing a few issues he managed to get my DPF working properly and able to do the regeneration process on its own so only charged for the diagnostic even though I had booked for a full DPF cleaning. I cannot recommend F5 enough it's a real pleasure to deal with them. All round excellent service. Thank you guys.

Adrian is a lovely fella, explained the process, carried it out well, clearly done exactly what it needed to do as I blew a load of stuff out the back when I drove it after. Will definitely be coming back in the future.

Steve arrived to give my Jaguar xfs an engine carbon clean. Presently on 107,000 miles. Explained the process and was obviously very knowledgeable about the process and expected outcomes. And he was a thoroughly nice chap. The V6 in the xfs is a quiet, smooth, powerful unit and I was not sure of what improvements I would get. Well, I’m impressed. The power delivery is smoother, the engine even quieter and 6 mpg better to boot. If you want to do one thing to maintain and improve your motor, then this is what you should do.
