From the outset, very good communication regarding the appointment, arrived exactly as planned. Very detailed explanation of the whole process leaving me with no doubt that I had selected the right company for the work required. X4 vehicles worked on, all completed in 3.5hrs and added bonus of multi car discount. Very happy with completed work, specifically with two vehicles, a Fiat Bravo 1.9 tdi and Audi TT 3.2 where I could really tell a difference with sound, intel/outlet response. Many thanks and will definitely be a returning customer and making recommendations.

Where do I start with Adrian , from the initial phone call regarding my requirements Adrian was very thorough in regards to what issues I have with car and if it was an issue that the clean would resolve, It would be very easy from him to take your money but he is one of the most honest , thorough , organised person I have ever met. From the the booking I was emailed , texted of all the details-arrangements to the ETA. I’ve used Adrian for 4 cars 1 of which I’ve had done twice and also a DPF clean causesd by a garage not fitting my my Air Filter Pipe not being fitted correctly and causing the Maf sensor to over fuel the vehicle and send the Ecu into confusion therefor leading to the Engine not regenerating to clear the DPF system. He will carry out a full diagnostic check along with all the fault codes the car has currently live and also from the past which is really interesting. The difference in the cars is reallly noticeable on performance, economy and emissions and run very smooth. A friend of mine informed me that my BMW X5 needs an injector which is costly, Adrian diagnosed the issue to be Glow Plugs. It’s very important to look after your cars and for what you pay is nothing in comparison to component failures , Mot failures and loss of MPG. I have now made a good friend too with Adrian @F5ECC Engine Carbon Clean East Midlands is now joined venture with me in sponsorship for My Honda Civic Type R for 2019 Javelin Sprint Series.

Booked 3 cars for diagnostics and a carbon clean for 0900. He arrived on time and got straight to work. The worst of my cars was a 12 yr old 2 litre diesel Mazda 6 with serious smoke issues and a severe lack of power. I am amazed at the transformation. Still has a slight issue with smoke on start up but as explained that is due to a DPF issue. It has restored power and I no longer have to coax it through the gears. The other 2 cars are 2 litre TDI Audi A6's. I have also noticed a considerable difference in their performance. Both idle much better and hopefully over time I'll see a difference im mpg. Highly recommended this treatment and I'll certainly be adding this to my annual service schedule.

Had my carbon clean last week and I am really happy with the results; the low reverberating hum from my engine has gone, and replaced with a crisp and clear tick; the throttle response from a standing start has improved, and, as I wanted, the auto choke drops off after just 10-15 seconds now, not the two and half to three minutes it was taking before! Also my fuel economy has improved by what I would say about 10-15% from what I was getting prior to the clean! (Based on £10 fuel I would get 90-100 miles before got 117 over the weekend!) All I can say is thank you, and you will be hearing from me again! Will also be recommending you to friends and family who I think you may be able to help. Regards, Matt.

My car had been running rough and going into limp mode so I thought an engine clean was in order. After speaking to Adrian on the phone he came out, ran some diagnostics that identified a fault to be sorted out and ran the engine clean. Afterwards it felt like I had a new car. His knowledge and service were second to none. I would recommend him to anyone

Can't recommend enough! This is my 3rd clean from Adrian and it never disappoints. Part of a yearly service I do on my cars and keeps them in tip top condition. Health checked and cleaned my Mk6 Golf 2.0tdi GT and all the usual improvements from engine response to noise and improves overall performance every time! Don't be fooled by cheaper companies, they have poor equipment that can damage your car and its just not worth the risk. Engine Carbon Clean East Midlands - F5ECC use top of the range equipment and will give you the best advice on any problems or question you might have. Thanks again Adrian see you next year!
