Vehicle purchase diagnostic consultation and Engine Carbon Clean – BMW 120d (2013 – 97,723 miles)

‘Fantastic service. My 2013 BMW 1 series felt a bit sluggish and with 98k miles on the clock I thought I’d give this a go. Having used the company previously on another BMW I knew the difference it could make. Adrian was very help and knowledgeable! He sent me the diagnostic report and explained what a couple of the codes meant. He said the engine on the car was very good! (Relief). The process took about 45 mins and I took it for a drive after. There is a noticeable difference in the car! The revs are not as high in gears 1 and 2 and I can get more out of those gears now (it’s an M sport!). And it’s has its power back. I am very happy and will continue to use Engine Carbon Clean. Highly recommend. They also do BLC discount which is always a plus .’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Here we have a BMW 120d (2013 – 97,723 miles) booked in for diagnostic consultation and Engine Carbon Clean.

ℹ️ The owner had used us on a previous vehicle and wanted us to investigate for issues and clean up the engine.

Initial inspection found no major issues in the engine bay, but a tell tale background vibration and a bass note from the carbon present. There was also a rattle on idle from the exhaust.

Initial diagnostics showed no engine codes, but lots of historic codes logged in other parts of the car. We documented and cleared these for the owner.

Live data monitoring showed most live data looking OK, but coolant temperature ever so slightly lower at 87-88°C despite being stress tested, but thankfully only dropping to 83°C when tested.

‍On with the clean and the engine soon smoothed out and quietened down and by the end it was much 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.
