Great service from Adrian at F5ECC for LR Discovery DPF red light
Customer Service

Adrian from ECC East Midlands (F5ECC) was brilliant. Punctual and communicative, he provided very clear, detailed diagnostic information so I knew what was happening and what my options were. My 2018 LR Discovery went straight to a red light for DPF full and he was able to reset warnings, including a service warning missed recently by the main dealer, so the auto regeneration could successfully run. This fixed the problem and for my family and I, who were only visiting Leicestershire, it was a massive relief as we were able to resume our holiday and get home without further problems! Excellent service, highly recommended.

My Vw Transporter van 2.0 180 automatic was smoking very dense white/ Grey smoke. After contacting various Garages that could not get to the bottom of the problem, I contacted Adrian from carbon clean. He did a full diagnostic and found that the PDF filer was completely full Suspected with Ash. He carried out a carbon clean and told me I need to find a garage that would remove it and completely was it out. Adrian was very honest as he could have flushed the pdf and left it at that but he said there is no way that would clear it out.Adrian wanted me to contact him after it was done to make sure it had fixed the problem. The vehicle was taken and it was done. Not only did the vehicle have more performance but fuel economy has improved from 25mpg to 34mpg. The vehicle responds to throttle fantastically and the engine runs so smooth. I am so grateful to Adrian and highly recommend his diagnostic and his advice. I will certainly use Adrian in the future. A fantastic experience.

Adrian was very good at his job. He was prompt, knowledgeable and he kept me informed about what was happening before, during and even after he had fixed my car. I would recommend this company to anyone who has a DPF problem. Car is now running great again.

Adrian did a carbon clean on my new-to-me 2011 Skoda. The engine sounded 'chuggy' and the MPG was very low. Adrian suggested the journeys had been short ones contributing to a carbon build up. A carbon clean was carried out with Adrian explaining the process and what outcomes I could expect. The service was professionally and thoroughly completed and I am very pleased with the outcome. My engine runs much smoother and the MPG is already increasing. All costs were explained so no nasty surprises. I am already recommending him to family and friends.

Brilliant service from Adrian very polite and professional. I wasn’t expecting much as my car is 12 years old but it definitely exceeded my expectations my MPG has shot up from the low 30’s to mid high 50’s Every car is different but with guidance and correct information it all helps. Thank you so much Adrian
