Why Book Us
‘Diagnose running issues, restore power, performance, fuel economy and lower emissions. It's essentially a health check and detox for your vehicle.’
Our live data diagnostics helps identify underlying issues that may be causing symptoms, plus helps identify other hidden issues before they become a problem.
Our engine carbon cleaning service helps save money on fuel, provides a smooth, quiet and responsive drive and can help deal with issues such as MOT emissions failures or sticking turbos.
An engine carbon clean will help reduce soot levels entering the EGR/DPF and inlet manifold in future. This helps reduce the frequency of DPF regeneration – the DPF will last longer and saves fuel with fewer regenerations.
Our DPF Cleaning service can be for soot and oil blockages, but also on a regular basis to flush out the residual ash from regeneration and restore the capacity to capture soot and oil.

Our service includes a full diagnostic consultation to identify issues that need addressing by the seller or under warranty.
Avoid running into problems by identifying if you have had your DPF removed for example, failed sensors which may lead to DPF blockages in future and failed components such as catalytic converters, etc.
If everything looks good then get it cleaned up for the road ahead.

Avoid failure or turn that fail into a pass.
MOT failure or general smoke issues will be down to either a failed or malfunctioning component/sensor (which we can often identify with our diagnostics), thermostat or carbon buildup.
With increased mileage then a dirty combustion chamber causing over fuelling will increase emissions which we can clean up with the Engine Carbon Clean.
Grey smoke on diesels can also indicate DPFs getting full of ash – regular maintenance DPF Cleans help remove this to keep it running at its best.

If you are planning a modification or remap then you should get any faults diagnosed and recover lost power first before adding more.
By cleaning it up and get it breathing properly the extra work the turbo has to do post-remap won’t stress the turbo as much. Extra important if you are having a custom map on a rolling road as it is best to map a clean car rather than a dirty one.

A proper diagnosis is essential to correctly tackle running issues.
If for example you are having DPF issues we can help, quite often just with diagnosing the underlying issue with NO NEED FOR A DPF CLEAN.
Limp mode issues can be due to sticking turbos, sensors or leaks for example.
Sticking turbos can often be resolved with an Engine Carbon Clean.

A diagnostics is essential to understand why. Many times the DPF will be struggling or unable to regenerate due to a faulty sensor or component. In this case no matter how you drive it the DPF will not regenerate and will lead to a blocked DPF. Once diagnosed the faulty parts can be fixed and regeneration can work again.
If DPF back pressure / soot content is already too high then fixing the underlying issues will still not allow regeneration. A DPF Clean (unblock) is required in this case.
With higher mileage vehicles the residual ash (left behind from regular regeneration) starts to restrict the ability to capture the soot/oil. A regular maintenance DPF clean to flush out this ash then restores the capacity to hold soot/oil and allow normal regeneration to resume.

How and why does carbon affect my vehicle?
All combustion engines whether petrol, diesel, LPG, methane, hybrid, new or old, over time gather carbon deposits – it is a natural product of burning fuel.
A dirty engine has to work harder and uses more fuel, vibrates causing noise, shake and lumpy running and increases emissions eventually causing MOT failure. The more it shakes the more it will wear components such as engine mounts, clutches, etc.
In the past cars just dumped a lot of this carbon out through the exhaust, but as fuel economy and emission targets have got stricter over the years engine components have added in order to keep the soot within the vehicle rather than passing it out through the exhaust.
