⚠️ Vehicle due a service? Don’t delay an oil change as oil deterioration can stop a DPF regeneration.

ℹ️ Ideal time for a diagnostic health check and Engine Carbon Clean is about 1 week prior to a service. That way you get it checked, issues identified ready for the service, plus fresh oil into a fresh engine ready for the road ahead.

Here we have a multi-vehicle booking with:

– a Mercedes A150 petrol booked in with an airbag light on and poor fuel economy.
– a Vauxhall Zafira 1.7 CDTI (2014 – 103,540 miles) with DPF problems and poor fuel economy

The Mercedes was a relatively straightforward diagnostics and clean and transformed the engine which was very dirty due to just doing short journeys. Lovely, quiet and crisp with the feedback from the owner ‘didn’t even realise it was running’.

Diagnostics in the Mercedes highlighted the passenger seat occupancy sensor was the culprit for the airbag light.

The Vauxhall Zafira warranted some investigation. The only code was related to oil deterioration.

ℹ️ This can genuinely be down to old oil, or can be where repeated regeneration attempts have contaminated the oil with diesel. We manually checked the oil level which was OK and also smelled it to detect any diesel. After chatting to the owner it was clear the car was due an oil change so we advised this was done asap.

After documenting and clearing the codes the vehicle attempted to regenerate and failed again, triggering the oil deterioration code again.

With this in mind we crept it through an Engine Carbon Clean and the owner has it booked in tomorrow for the oil change.

Once the oil has been changed it should successfully regenerate again.

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.

Leon came out to my car about a month ago. He was brilliant, he did some diagnostics, asked some questions and then got to work sorting out my problem. He was extremely thorough and I could tell he genuinely cares about providing a first class service. Fantastic!

Iv had the pleasure of having 2 Carbon cleans from both Adrian and Mark. Both lovely gentlemen and you can tell they love what they do. My car failed on emissions and this helped me get the car through the test, and at the time, I REALLY needed a pass because I couldn’t get anywhere. These guys saved me. Not only that, it’s a lot cheaper here compared to other places also. Thank you so much and look forward to seeing you in future endeavours.
