live diagnostic & engine carbon clean

Adrian performed a live diagnostic and an engine carbon clean on my 2013 Mercedes A Class I have had a warning light for some time and the Garages have always blamed the EGR and after lots of work they could not work out what was wrong. After following his videos closely for a few months i reached out to Adrian to book him in to look at the car and see if he could figure out the problem. Arrived on time and got straight to work diagnosing the fault's the car had. Adrian took the time to explain the faults what the likely cause might be. This was the main reason why I wanted Adrian to do the job, his knowledge and attention to the detail is amazing! With the live data and Adrian's knowledge it looks like the issue might be electrical instead of mechanical and with this i can now get the car booked into the garage to fix. The carbon clean has made the car noticeably smoother now when driving. Adrian checked in with me later in the day to ask how the cars was driving which was a great touch and great service. Would defiantly recommend Adrian and will be using him in the future.

Had engine carbon clean out to me today to do my 2012 Audi A5 2.0 tfsi and my partner's 2011 Kia Sportage crdi. Very glad I booked Adrian in having followed his videos closely for a couple of months. Great service. Arrived on time. Instantly got to work diagnosing the fault's I had and explaining where each one was coming from or what the likely cause was. This was a massive part of the service and why I wanted Adrian to do the job, as he explained everything in detail. The carbon clean itself was great. It was more of a maintenance/prevention thing for me but I must say, the car is noticeably smoother now when driving around. Payment was simple with a card machine upon completion of works. Adrian checked in with me later in the day to ask how both cars seemed which I thought was a nice touch to include some after service.

This was the second time Adrian has been out to do a carbon clean for us. Booking process was easy, Adrian is responsive to messages and very informative. Primarily had the most recent carbon clean for preventative/maintenance but have been really impressed with the improvements we have seen in how smooth/quiet the car runs now. Will be sure to ask Adrian to come round to do a clean on our other car as it approaches is warranty expiry.

I have been booked with Adrian for a carbon clean and can say that it’s totally worth every penny my car has unleashed her true power , better mpg and throttle response, really happy with it i was not expecting to be such a massive difference , engine it’s running really smooth and very responsive, been told that my car it’s running really smoothly by Adrian especially for the mileage that i have ( 152000, Bmw 530d GT) . Thank you very much Adrian and will definitely recommend you’re services to all my friends!

This is the second time I have used Adrian's services, today on two cars which have not previously had the service performed. Once again Adrian was very helpful, the diagnostics confirmed my suspicions about an issue I can now get fixed on one car, and showed a clean bill of health on the other. One car (a petrol 1.2 Ford Ka) is mostly used for city driving and has been absolutely transformed by the clean, now pulling strongly again and much quieter. The other (petrol 2.0 VW Arteon) was already in good shape due to being used mostly for long motorway runs, but is still a bit quieter and smoother after the work. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Adrian and F5ECC, I have previously and will do so again.
