A big improvement for my engine
Customer Service

I have an Audi A6 C7 (2018) 2.0 quattro petrol. I just bought it with 50k miles on the clock. The MPG seemed poorer than expected and the car would stutter if revved in neutral before returning to idle. Since having the cleaning done, it has improved my instant consumption gauge from 10 mpg to 30+ mpg when I'm doing 70mpg in 7th gear on uphill inclines. This is exactly what I was hoping for as I had to put my foot down alot more just to maintain the speed before the clean. My engine also revs perfectly fine with no dips. Highly recommend. This is the second time I have used this service and would certainly do it again.

Adrian was very professional and kept me fully informed about what he found. The result was that when I went out for a 17 mile trip, it felt much smoother and quieter, even with the sunroof open.

Diesel fueled car with a performance issue

Had various power related issues with a diesel fueled car. The diagnostic and visual check showed an error with a faulty part linked to the fuel system. The engine was also decarbonised too and I have noted a difference in performance and a reduction in exhaust smoke. I'm very pleased with the results and Adrian's expertise and advice. Well recommended.

I'm very pleased with the service I was provided with by Adrian from Engine Carbon Clean! He's very competent and professional! The diagnostic was accurate and informative, so thanks to it I have found out about a few issues I wasn't even aware of. Engine Carbon cleaning restored some power to my engine and it works smoother now. I will definitely use Carbon Engine Clean East Mids again! Highly recommended! Thank you :)

Adrian is a brilliant guy. Nothing was too much trouble. I had my DPF sensor replaced and he reset the ECU for me and did an engine and filter clean. Thoroughly good value for money and my car accelerates and runs like it should. I'm really happy with the work done and definitely recommend the service to anyone with a diesel or other engine problems.

It's not often you find a company with outstanding service. This is the second time I have used Adrian at Engine Carbon Clean. The first time I was a little sceptical on the carbon cleaning process, there is a mixture of reviews on-line from various companies, but most were positive. I also thought that my car (2012 VW Touran TDI with 91,000 miles at first visit, 110,00 at the second) would probably have carbon build up due to many short trips would benefit from the clean if it actually worked. Prior to the second visit I had experienced a sticky EGR valve. On both occasions, Adrian arrived on time and after explaining the whole process and running a full diagnosis check on my car, he commenced with the clean keeping a close eye on the live diagnostic data. After both cleans my car has felt better to drive, smoother, quieter and more responsive. MPG has also increased and now acheiving 65 mpg on a run. Would I recommend? Definitely.

Adrian is a great honest guy who knows his stuff. He has come from a scientific background and will explain the process really well. He is well able to answer any questions the customer has and does it in a polite and professional way. Really recommend the service also. The car had some issues which straight away Adrian says the cleaning will not deal with, but after the clean the car runs so much better.

I have used Adrian at engine carbon clean a few times now and he's polite and efficient and very very knowledgeable. He performs in-depth diagnostics and an amazing engine carbon clean. I had him to do my car and treated the wife's car too. When the engine cleaning was done I took them for a drive and it restored lots of lost power both run smoothly and better mpg which is great. I highly recommend Adrian. Treat your car to carbon clean.
