Carbon is a natural by-product of burning fossil fuels in a combustion engine. Carbon buildup gathers over time and causes an engine to labour, vibrate and over fuel. This leads to excessive:

- rumble and shake
- fuel usage (declining MPG)
- smoke and emissions
- wear and tear on other components (engine mounts, etc.)
- DPF regeneration in Diesel vehicles.
- sluggishness, lag and sticking turbo

A truly great service

I’m more than happy with the service. The diagnostics talk through whilst the carbon clean happened was most enlightening. We’re all geared to jump on the EGR issue tomorrow and start to rectify the issue there. The reports were also very helpful. I was dreading a failed injector so to know it was wiring related was a relief. I’ll let you know how we get on for sure. *Update* Adrian’s initial cautious diagnosis was quite right. The EGR had failed (2 months old Chinese rubbish). Replaced it with OEM today. The difference is night and day. This big old diesel V6 feels responsive and clean. I really rate this service but, what I rate more is Adrian. He’s clear, calm and well informed. I really appreciate everything he did and will happily use him again in the future.

Adrian Carbon cleaning

I am really pleased with the service that Adrian has done for my Subaru . The clean has totally changed the way the car runs and performs . Before it was down on power , running rich and the exhaust sound was terrible .It also had a lot of sooty deposits from the exhaust which also covered the rear of the car. Adrian explained every step of the process as it was done . Overall the information given to me , the price and the availability to fit my car in and the attention to detail of the service was excellent. I recommend him and the service to anyone wishing to keep their car/ van in tip top condition

I have used this service before once back when I got my 1 series, I had it done before at 54000 miles and I have decided to do it again at 65000 miles just to keep on top of the engine cleaning. The MPG average has been noticeable as well as the power and output when accelerating has a massive difference. He helped me look into codes I was getting prior temporarily that he then explained his thoughts and was open and honest about. He provided a brilliant service for a good price. Will be using the service again wether it’s for this car or future cars.

Incredible service. I can't believe how much improvement it's achieved just from a pipe shoved up the air filter for an hour. It's alleviated so many shakes and the whole engine and car is smoother. It revs lower, shifts easier, accelerates quicker and smoother, has gained economy, and I'm sure will extend the working age of the vehicle. Forget recommendations, this is a necessity.

Zafira with a stutter

Our Zafira has been a workhorse for the best part of 12 years and in the last few months developed a fault. The engine management light would come on and then disappear, usually when it was booked into a garage for diagnosis. Eventually, it was diagnosed as the system running lean. But, there was no explanation for it. Any garage will work on trial and error. This could mean injectors to sensors. I saw the YouTube video of Adrian with a similar Zafira and thought that it would be worth contacting ECC and see what they thought. I have an Astra as well so booked both in for diagnosis and Carbon Clean. Adrian was very thorough and professional. Explained the error codes and what could be the cause of the problems. Although they don't do the repair work, the complete diagnosis, working with live data, is invaluable. The potential problem was identified as a stuck thermostat. Not what I would have thought at all. Can't recommend Adrian and ECC enough. I now have a good idea of where to start with the Zafira. For anyone thinking of keeping an older ICE vehicle on the road for longer, I would have ECC out to perform a Carbon Clean. Both the Astra and Zafira now run a lot smoother.

Booked in with Engine Carbon Clean on recommendation and Adrian did not fail to disappoint! Flagged issues with the engine I would not have known about until it was broken and its already running much smoother, once I get the work done it will be even better! Would fully recommend to anyone else too.

Adrian was brilliant, you know, straight away that he knows what he’s talking about. I felt my car was in very safe hands. He gave me plenty of information on all aspects of my car from the diagnostic check. The car came up with ‘emissions go to garage’, now it runs beautifully. I’ve got my MOT next week, I’m confident it will sail through. I wouldn’t hesitate to use this company again.
