The only person to use
Adrian was brilliant from start to finish. Communication was spot on from booking to completion. I had 2 cars done at the same time one being a taxi which I use for work. Initially Adrian carried out a diagnostics which came up with a couple of faults which helped incredibly as I was having issues with the coolant system. With this information we have narrowed down the on going issues I had. Once the carbon clean was completed I noticed the engine was quieter at idle. Upon test drive I noticed the throttle was way more responsive than prior to the clean. I have only driven less than 100 miles but I am pleased with results. Again thank you to Adrian for making the process easy and understandable. It’s good to see someone selling something that they exactly have the knowledge and information they can pass to the customer which is reassuring. Would use and recommend again 100% 5 stars ⭐️

Professional service!
Extremely professional, arrived on time, kept me updated with ETA and fitted me in very quickly. Adrian talked me through the whole process, he did a full diagnostic, explained everything thoroughly and cleared the codes. The carbon clean took approx 60mins, now car runs lovely and smooth with improved responsiveness and a slightly better mpg figure. Adrian has looked after 2 of my cars so far. - He comes highly recommend as the service is second to none and really knows his stuff and just a nice genuine guy. Thank you Adrian! Glad you liked my Saab 9-3 👍🏻

Engine carbon clean
I contacted Adrian on the 11th February and he had a cancellation for the following day. Adrian sent information regarding the clean via e-mail then kept me updated on the day for his time of arrival. Once Adrian arrived he was very friendly and explained the process of the clean and diagnostics. Adrian clear some old codes on the car the sent me the codes he cleared plus live data while the carbon clean was happening, he also explained what all the data meant so I understood how the car was running. Even though I had no issues with the car and Adrian said that it was running perfect after the clean I have noticed I have gain between 5-10 mpg and the car is so quiet it’s like brand new and the biggest change is how responsive the car is now I have had the clean. I highly recommend this service even if like me you car is running fine it will still make a difference. Thanks, Adrian

Fantastic job!
I had Adrian come out today to carry out a carbon clean on my Jaguar XF. Adrian is a really friendly chap who really knows his stuff. I was updated very regularly with arrival times and he showed up exactly when he said he would. After he run a diagnostic on my car there were 9 fault codes and a lot of them to do with the fuel injectors and DPF. During the cleaning process, you could actually hear the engine getting quieter and smooth. After the carbon clean had finished the fault codes cleared themselves. I took the car out after the work was done, and could tell the difference straight away. The car feels more responsive, smoother and quiet. My MPG was averaging around 35.0 driving around my town. Now its shot up to 42.0. Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much, Adrian!

Absolutely top service and knowledge, highly effective treatment, results speak for themselves.
Adrian from Engine Carbon Clean came out to work on my wife's BMW 320d which had become sluggish and unresponsive and to put it bluntly, a bit of a pig to drive due to it doing a lot of short runs and the car being a diesel. After a full diagnostic check to ensure there were no problems which could prevent work being carried out (and all diagnostic reports being sent over to me), he proceeded with the carbon clean service which took less than an hour from start to finish, he even arrived slightly ahead of schedule. Wow, the results are unbelievable. The car is no longer sluggish and the throttle response is massively improved and it even sounds a bit nicer as well. Not only that he gave me a few pointers to keep the car running nice and clean in future as well. This is the second time I've had Adrian out and from the service on offer, it won't be the last. Very highly recommended! Great communication, knowledge, service and follow up, I literally can't fault this company at all. Thankyou.

Fantastic service!
I had Adrian out to carbon clean my car engine, he arrived exactly when he said he would, he was very professional and really seems to know his stuff, I would one hundred percent recommend him and his service. To be honest I didn’t think much was wrong when I booked in, I just wanted to have it cleaned out but Adrian carried out a full diagnostic on the car prior to the clean which did show some faults that I’ll have to address at some point. After the clean there’s a noticeable difference on the sound of the engine especially when starting from cold and I have definitely noticed how much more responsive it is, even in eco mode. I can’t comment on fuel efficiency just yet as I have been testing the responsiveness. In all seriousness, for the cost and the service I received I’m really happy, if you’re like me and I’m two minds, just get yourself booked in, you won’t regret it. Thanks Adrian.

Engine carbon clean
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.

Diagnostic and internal engine carbon clean
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.

Excellent service
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.

Excellent service once again.
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 .

Professional, on time, very knowledgeable and helpful.
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

Engine Carbon Clean: Volvo V60
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.

Amazing service 10/10
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.

Great job and Informative
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.

Thank you once again
Think I have used Adrian services at Engine Carbon Clean five times now on different cars. Excellent service as per the norm. Proof is in the pudding, returning customers this many times tells you something. Just had it done as general maintenance @ 24,000 miles & yes you can feel the difference. Been told to keep this car Adrian, so you will not see me again till 50,000, but for sure you will be seeing me & my car again. Big thank you as always 👍

DPF
I have had Adrian out before for carbon cleans but yesterday I had him out to clean my DPF as I have been struggling getting it to regenerate. Adrian is full of knowledge and always tells you straight. He sorted my DPF out as it had been in limp mode for a few weeks now. Great service great price great guy will definitely be going back.

Another Visit from the Master at F5ECC
Booked Adrian in again for a Carbon Clean and this time on my newly purchased VW Passat 2.0 TDI and also an issue with my Step sons Audi A3 2.0 TDI which requires a DPF clean. Vw on the inspection through the Diagnostic machine everything was running sweet, after the Carbon Clean there is an Instantly noticeable difference on the throttle response and a lot smoother now. The Audi has been a nightmare for a couple of months, This had been to a couple of garages with the car in limp mode and wouldn’t re-generate, on inspection he was informed that it required a DPF Sensor changing , this didn’t work , then he was informed it require a Turbo Actuator , didn’t work and then apparently it required a lambda sensor. The issue was still there, A phone call to Adrian and instantly with an answer to why it won’t re-generate is because the issue had not been diagnosed early enough and therefor the DPF was clogged up. On his Diagnostic machine the back pressure was 100 ,and the worst he had experienced on a Vag Engine , A further Code saying high Ash content, It wasn’t looking good but Adrain said he was confident he could resolve the issues , after a DPF clean the back pressure dropped to 10 from 100 and it was a success , The car Re-Generated and is running really well now. Absolute Gentleman has always and very professional with a huge amount of knowledge. Another fantastic Job and thank you… Richard

The best by miles
Audi A5 3.0 tdi Quattro First used ECC East Mids back in May for an engine clean and then again in September for a DPF clean, Adrian is the ultimate professional, calls/texts in advance of appointments with eta, full diagnostic scan (before and after cleans sent to your phone) takes the time to fully explain what everything means and what impact various sensors/parts have to influence the reason for needing a DPF or engine clean, I myself now have more of an understanding of how a diesel engine should be working its best and how to keep it that way! Car runs amazing now. Will personally be using again in the future and have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Adrian and his business, 5 stars are not enough for this gem of a service

Audi A4 Carbon Clean
Adrian came to carbon clean my Audi A4 and did a superb job. Diagnosed a faulty thermostat for me which was very unknowingly causing me problems. He’s very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Arrived on time and was very efficient. Very happy to recommend

Professional service
Having recently purchased a Ford Kuga I had done some motorway miles and noticed it to be unresponsive and struggling in higher gears. I booked a diagnostic appointment through messenger on Facebook and was rewarded with a very professional response from Adrian. The appointment was in the late afternoon and I was kept informed of the arrival time during the day. A full diagnosis and engine clean was performed and a dpf pressure sensor issue was found. Immediately upon my first drive after the work on the car I found a increase in responsiveness and a improvement in mpg. Having now replaced the sensor I’m looking forward to many miles of trouble free motoring. From start to finish I found Adrians company very professional and courteous. If your having car problems I would recommend you get in contact. Thanks for your help with my car

Great work by F5ECC
Very happy with the service provided by F5ECC on my 1998 Mercedes SLK230. I am always careful who I use when having work done on my vehicles but all of the positive reviews of F5ECC made my decision to have the engine carbon cleaned by this company. Adrian kept me updated with information at the time of booking the car in and his communication was excellent. He phoned me to let me know an estimated arrival time and arrived at exactly this time! I was very interested in seeing what is done, Adrian talked me through the diagnostic procedure detailing what each code meant sending me copies of stored and current fault codes whilst he was there which I can give to a garage at a later date. He showed me how the carbon clean was done and was honest throughout in that the procedure can work better/outcomes can be more noticeable on some cars more than others, this will depend on how well they have been maintained, mileage, whether used for short journeys. I asked a lot of questions and Adrian answered them thoroughly. Adrian is a top bloke and it is without doubt that he knows his job inside out, I would highly recommend this company to anyone. Thanks Adrian!
