Restored fuel economy on this BMW 118d (2013 – 90,380 miles)

⛽ How’s your fuel economy?

‘It drives wonderful, started with 537 in the tank before the clean after a trip down and up the A1 to Peterborough then a trip to Bourne last night I now have 563 miles to empty, thank you sir and yes I will be getting you out to the MG in the future ‘

Here we have a BMW 118d (2013 – 90, 380 miles) booked in for diagnostic consultation and Engine Carbon Clean.

ℹ️ The owner had no major issues, but wanted us to investigate for issues and clean up the engine to help with fuel economy, etc.

Initial inspection found no major issues in the engine bay and running pretty well with just a small amount of bass note.

Initial diagnostics showed no engine codes and just a few historic codes logged in other parts of the car. We documented and cleared these for the owner.

Live data monitoring showed all live data looking good with coolant temperature at 92-97°C when stress tested, good EGR movement and DPF regeneration working well.

‍On with the clean and the engine soon smoothed out and quietened down and by the end it was quieter, smooth and responsive again.

Excellent service, i can't believe how responsive my rs6 v10 is after a carbon clean. Way cheaper than I thought it would be as well

I had issues with my DPF on my 4.4 Range Rover so hot in touch with F5 and Leon came out to me to carry out a DPF clean. Not only did he tell me exactly what he was going to do but carried out a full diagnostic on my car just to see if there was any underlying issues other than dpf. He gave a really good explanation of the process as he checked all the boost pipes and inter coolers for leaks He couldn’t have been anymore friendly than he was and certainly knew his stuff. Dpf all unblocked and engine is back to normal. Couldn’t recommend F5 enough.

After going to merc tech in hull wgere they outright lied to me and attempted to charge me for work they never did. I found f5 by chance pulled out all the stops to get me up and running again. Steve was the best. He explained the full procedure and worked professionally THANKYOU.

I needed a DPF inspection quite quickly. I contacted Leon and he responded very quickly. Nice and easy to arrange, coming to our site, on time as promised. Leon was a very friendly chap, very knowledgeable, clearly explaining the whole process. All very simple, no stress and made my life a lot easier. I would have no hesitation in recommending.

I had a DPF clean which has worked perfectly and got my diesel Rav4 back into perfect driving condition. Steve, the technician was very friendly and talked me through the whole diagnosis and treatment.

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.
