Engine Carbon Cleaning: A Must-Read Guide for Vehicle Maintenance
What is carbon build up?
Carbon build up occurs within petrol and diesel engines, as result of unburnt fuel and other contaminants. Carbon build up regularly occurs as result of:
Low quality fuel & fluids (oil etc)
Stop Start traffic
Lack of servicing / maintenance
Regular short journeys
Ineffective emissions controls attempting to reburn exhaust gasses or oil vapours within the system.
These result in poor fuel consumption, higher emissions, potential errors (check engine, EGR, DPF Etc) poor engine running and lack of performance or engine hesitation.
If left unchecked this build up can lead to damage and costly repairs, including turbo, EGR, DPF and engine internals.
How Does it Work?
Hydrogen engine carbon cleaning technology works by converting purified water solution into Hydrogen and Oxygen gases known as HHO.
This gas is then injected into the vehicles air intake system. As the gases work through the engine they interact with the carbon deposits burning and breaking them down into tiny particles safely exiting through the exhaust.
Hydrogen, along with increased oxygen levels, raises the combustion temperature within the engine creating a chemical reaction that burns and disintegrates the carbon deposits.
This then exits the vehicle as a clear non-pollutant smoke.
What are the Benefits?
We utilise the latest in hydrogen carbon cleaning technology to clean internals of your engine.
Teaming up with Carbon-K we utilise the G7S market leading hydrogen carbon cleaning equipment and hydrogen mixture. This can be effective in as little as 45 minutes.
This service helps target the removal of carbon build up, improving engine efficiency and emissions whilst also reducing wear and potential damage due to excess carbon.
Service can be completed as part of regular maintenance scheme or as a one-off service to remove carbon build up that has become problematic.
Benefits include:
Restores engine performance
Restores fuel efficiency
Reduces flat spots and engine noise
Reduces exhaust fumes
Lowers emissions for MOT
Improves engine responsiveness
Increases engine lifespan
Prevents wear of expensive components such as EGR, DPF, spark plug, valves, injectors, turbo vanes etc.
Enhanced driving experience
How Long does it take?
We recommend the following approximate cleaning times
1-2 Litre Engine 30 min- 1hr
2-4 Litre Engine 1.5 hr - 2hr
4-6 Litre Engine 2hr - 3 hr
6-10 Litre Engine 3hr - 4hr
EGR Clean - 90 Mins @ 2000rpm
Turbo Clean - 90 mins @ 2000rpm
DPF Clean 90-120 mins including 60 mins idle plus 30 mins @ 1500rpm
A DPF regen can also be completed via diagnostic tools
Frequency will depend on vehicle usage, however at minimum we recommend a hydrogen carbon clean as part of your regular servicing, ideally in conjunction with annual oil changes.
How much does it cost?
Our most popular packages include:
Bronze - 1hr carbon cleaning (£80)
Silver - 1.5hr carbon cleaning plus fuel & injector treatment (£100)
Gold- 2hr carbon cleaning plus fuel & injector treatment (£120)
