I had Adrian from Engine Carbon Clean to have a look at my 2006 Audi A4 2.0 tdi with 148,000 on the clock as it sometimes struggles to start when cold and had a rough idle. Adrian turned up when he said he would(super punctual)pleasant chap and full of knowledge. After a thorough diagnostic, no initial problems were found so on with the clean. After the clean, I noticed straight away an improved throttle response and improved mpg. The proof for me was the next morning when I started first started the car.no struggling no rough idle it’s like a new car! I would definitely recommend a carbon clean to anyone and I would certainly use Adrian at engine carbon clean again.

Excellent service from start to finish. Everything explained from the start, what they would be doing and how much. The diagnostic test first, all results explained then the engine carbon clean. My car is a fifty six registration, one point nine Astra diesel with ninety five thousand three hundred on the clock. The results were far better than expected. It's like a different car, smoother and more responsive well worth having it done. I am that please with the work carried out and the improve performance I will be booking the wife's car in soon.

Adrian arrived at the time arranged and from the outset it was obvious he was a very skilled and experienced in his field. He performed a very thorough diagnostic test on my car engine, explaining any discrepancy he found and possible causes of the faults in question. I would readily recommend Adrian and Engine Carbon Clean East Midlands to anyone wanting a engine diagnostic and engine clean at a very reasonable price.

Once again a massive Thankyou to Adrian at Engine Carbon Clean East Midlands. This is the second time i have booked Adrian for a carbon clean and i wouldnt use anybody else. This man is very proffesional is his work and has a passion for it. After buying a 5 series BMW with 92k on the clock i wanted to know just what condition my engine was in. Adrian showed me the live data on the diagnostics and showed me x2 error codes in the cars ecu. Following the carbon clean, The car is now even quieter, more responsive with a noticable return on the MPG, 26mpg around town before, now 32MPG. 36 MPG on the dual carriageway now at 45 mpg. If you have bought a new car like me and want to find out about its health and give it some preventative maintanece then Adrian is your man. Highly reccomend this service .

Had soot filter full come up a few times on my 2007 Volvo xc70awd P3. Short journeys it seemed to regenerate, but on a couple of long journeys, it went into limp mode. I called Adrian to do a carbon clean and diagnostic check, and I was expecting the worse of either a deep clean on the dpf filter or even replacing it. Adrian put his machine on it and the soot filter was fluctuating but he could tell that it wasn't full yet but regeneration wasn't working. He suggested the dpf pressure sensor along with a new thermostat. Had both replaced and car is now back to full power, and no more soot filter full warnings. The carbon clean has also made the car feel far more responsive. Thanks Adrian 10/10

So right from the original contact Adrian was professional, knowledgeable and honest and provided me with in-depth information about why I wouldn't need one of the services I asked him to quote for (even though this would of earned him more money), this impressed me as several other companies had just provided me with a quote without one of them saying perhaps I don't need the service. Following this I booked in for an Engine Carbon Clean on my Volvo V60 with Adrian who kept me informed of ETA the night before and on the day and was extremely punctual (even arriving early but only after checking it was okay to do). Throughout the procedure Adrian was more than happy to answer my question at explain to me what he was doing at each stage. After the clean, my engine was notable running quieter. I took it for a test drive after Adrian left and am very happy with the result, the car feels smoother to drive, feeling more responsive through the revs. Could not recommend Adrian highly enough, very knowledgeable, very professional and a genuinely nice guy.

Engine Carbon Clean responded promptly to my initial enquiry allowing me to have the work completed on my car within days. I have a 2007 BMW 525d. They arrived bang on time and completed work on my car to a professional standard. My car hadn’t completed a successful DPF regeneration in over 5000 miles which was due to a faulty sensor. After the engine clean, I have since replaced the sensor. I have noticed my car is undoubtably smoother on startup and performance on these colder days thanks to the clean. Would high recommend.

Had my Audi's engine carbon cleaned by Adrian today. Very informative, honest and professional throughout, the car feels smoother through the full rev-range and the hesitation under throttle has gone. Well worth the money.
