Is your vehicle experiencing any of these symptoms:

⚠️ Loss of throttle response
⚠️ Loss of power
⚠️ Poor fuel economy
⚠️ High emissions
⚠️ Increase engine vibration
⚠️ EGR engine code
⚠️ Blocked DPF
⚠️ Blocked CAT

We can help. All of the above can be a result of excessive carbon build up. Our process removes carbon deposits from engine components to restore what your vehicle has lost over time due to the build up.

Also includes diagnostics. Mobile service - we come to your home or work.

  • If only you were in Sydney mate.
    Know anyone down here?

    Also, How badly do VW Golf engines get carbon? Does direct injection make things worse?

    • According to the website they actually do have a few franchises in Sydney

    • Hi,

      The downside to direct injection as opposed to port injection is in port injection you have fuel sprayed over the entire valve, thus burning off the any unburned fuel that accumulates as carbon. All DI engines particularly suffer from carbon build up behind the valves. Toyota actually use a combination of port and direct injection to combat this issue.

      I am sorry that the deal only applies to my region as each franchisor can decide when to run promotions. Like cyssero mentioned you can find a Engine Carbon Clean technician in your region on the website.

      Thanks

  • Does it clean carbon deposits on intake valves for direct injection engines? How does it compare with walnut blasting?

    • Yes it does clean the intake valves as well as the injector tips, spark plugs, piston crowns, turbo, cats and 02 sensors. Obviously nothing compares to removing the parts and manually cleaning or walnut blasting. However the cost to carbon clean using Hydrogen is only a fraction of the manual clean methods. You will have very noticeable results(depending on how bad your engine is) however one shouldn't expect it to be cleaned to the extent of a walnut blast.

  • What would you do to resolve EGR errors? Actually clean out the EGR?

    • Build up around the EGR and Intake Manifold is a combination of carbon and oil from the PCV valve. It creates a vegemite like substance. Hydrogen carbon cleaning will only break down the carbon deposits. If diagnostics show that the EGR isn't moving we use a chemical solution to remove the build up inside.

    • Bin it usually… Depends on the valve. I know supplier prices from the factory can be as low as $50. So I recommend replacement before clean/repair if yours is a cheapie

      • Mine is unfortunately buried under hoses and pipes that make it nearly entirely in accessible (to a rookie like me anyway). No videos for my engine either. Has been throwing EGR pressure errors since 50kkm but when cleared disappear for up to 9 months at a time. Could be a red herring or possibly genuine build up.

        OP, do you use OBD diagnostics or your own to determine if the EGR is being cleaned or not? TDI here too.

        • Are you using low-saps oil? I imagine if the EGR is gunking up at that low a km reading you'll have crap all throughout the rest of the motor. Any actual performance issues? Could just be a bad sensor as you said.

          • @kronicmacstigator: No performance issue and definitely using certified oil (low-saps and VW 507). Most people think it was a bad sensor. It also only comes on so infrequently it suggests it's not persistently popping up. Probably just best I forget about it :)

            • @cyssero: Most sensors once you cross-reference are about $20 or so. If you can find a mechanic willing to do it cheap (assuming it's easily reachable particularly on a hoist) I'd swap it for the sake of it. Might also notice some more fuel efficiency savings as well depending what fuel map it's using

  • I had this done on my car ( not from the OP but a carbon clean mob same type of work)- it was on a petrol Mazda 6, with 110k kms on it.. I looked at all the youtube videos and thought it would do some good at a of cost $200.
    Took like 1 hour or so, just running the engine and revving accross the band.

    Did I see/feel anything different - Not really.. more placebo effect in my opinion ( just like changing the oil and oil filter ) thinking it would give some better response
    Would I recommend it - in short No. ( and not for the $$ spent )

    Perhaps its designed more for diesel engines.
    In hindsight I think I would rather put in several tanks worth of BP ultimate..

      Yet you actually believe BP ultimate helps 🤣
      Edit: Not trying to sound like a wisecrack

      • +1

        $200 worth of Petrol VS a Carbon Clean ( now that I've done it ) ..
        I would choose the former.
        At least I get a few thousand kms out of $200.

    • +1

      You are correct that petrol engines certainly do not suffer from carbon build up as much as modern low compression diesels.

  • Wouldn't a carbon clean make a blocked cat/DPF even worse?

    • +1

      A blocked CAT is one of the easier items to clean as the hydrogen is effective getting to the carbon deposits built up the metals found inside the Catalytic Converter.

      A DPF blockage is more often a symptom of something else rather than a failure of the DPF. Short trips, a light foot and infrequent servicing can play a big role in causing a blocked DPF. If we can identify this as the cause we can unblock the DPF by first cleaning the carbon in the engine. A clean engine produces less particulates. Yes the DPF will accumulate more particulate during the clean. We then do a forced regeneration to clean out the DPF. If there is a failed 5th injector, glow plug or sensor causing the DPF not to regenerate we can identify this during the pre-diagnostic and advise the customer that this needs to be addressed first. No charge to customer.
