Originally wanted a dpf clean but after speaking with Adrian, he recommended a carbon clean of my 2014 Mercedes sprinter. Turned up on time and with all the kit. Job done within the hour with some issues identified (new thermostat needed being chief). Almost immediately, my van runs smoother and quieter. Very happy with the results and equally with Adrian's no nonsense knowledge of the task and professionalism. Would definitely recommend you speak to him before anyone else.

From 55mpg to 72mpg! Perfect service couldn’t ask for more, the car runs smoother than ever, start to finish was given clear honest advice and help. Booked the carbon clean and diagnostic was kept in the loop with everything and given a detailed report of everything, really clear communication throughout. Would highly recommend.

5-star advice from Adrian at F5ECC. He provided some brilliant free advice and instead of just trying to sell me a service, he gave me some incredible technical insights for my Audi A3 that saved me from a costly and unnecessary repair. He clearly knows these diesel engines inside out and is a total professional who puts the customer first. When I eventually do need a carbon/DPF clean, he’ll be the only person I call. Highly recommended.

Adrian came to a carbon clean on 2 vehicles . Kia Sportage 1.6 crdi and a Mercedes A200 diesell 2.1. Kia was having no issues just was a regular clean as I have used Adrian for several vehicles and understand the benefits of a clean. Again I noticed better performance and start up. Mercedes had starting issues and inconsistent running. After the clean it was more responsive , noise from the exhaust valve seems to go a way and not present anymore . So a better running Mercedes also. To be clear the Mercedes when warm would bit and not restart so definitely improved performance and start up issues. Thank you . See you in the summer for the Renault Clio clean .

I had my 2016 Ford S‑Max 2.0 TDCi carbon cleaned, and the difference has been impressive. My average MPG has gone from around 41 to 45, which I honestly didn’t expect, but the improvement is real. The engine also feels a touch smoother on acceleration, especially when pulling away or overtaking.

Professional service, clear communication, and results that genuinely make a difference. Highly recommended.

FAQs On Carbon Cleaning

What is engine carbon cleaning?

It is a process that removes carbon build-up from inside the engine, including turbo, combustion areas, injector tips, pistons, cylinders and cats. Carbon deposits form over time and can affect performance, fuel efficiency and emissions.

What causes carbon build-up in an engine?

Carbon build-up is caused by incomplete combustion, short journeys, stop-start driving and modern emissions systems. It’s common in both petrol and diesel engines, particularly those used mainly for urban or low-speed driving.

What are the signs my engine needs a carbon clean?

Common signs include reduced performance, sluggish acceleration, poor fuel economy, rough idling, warning lights and increased emissions. Some drivers also notice hesitation or flat spots when driving.

Does engine carbon cleaning improve fuel economy?

Many drivers notice improved fuel economy after carbon cleaning due to more efficient combustion and improved airflow. Results vary depending on driving style and the condition of the engine.

Can engine carbon cleaning help with emissions problems?

Yes, removing carbon deposits can help reduce exhaust emissions and may assist vehicles that are close to emissions limits. It is often used as part of an emissions or MOT preparation process.

Is engine carbon cleaning suitable for petrol vehicles?

Yes this type of cleaning is suitable for petrol, diesel, LPG, hybrid or any other hydrocarbon-based engine such as methane.

How often should engine carbon cleaning be done?

There is no fixed interval, but many vehicles benefit from a clean every 20,000–25,000 miles, or when symptoms of carbon build-up appear.
