Carbon Cleaning – Horsham

V1 –

Everyday use of your car or van will inevitably lead to the gradual accumulation of carbon deposits throughout the engine and the exhaust system. Bring your car into Ultimate Autocare in Horsham, for carbon cleaning and let us give your engine the deep clean it deserves using our state-of-the-art decarbonising machine.

By removing the carbon deposits from the engine (petrol or diesel), the performance of your engine will improve and the car will consume fuel much more efficiently, saving you cash at the petrol pumps! Carbon cleaning will also help prevent residue from forming on valves, injectors and spark plugs.

At Ultimate Autocare, we offer a carbon cleaning service at our workshop in Horsham.

Our carbon cleaning procedure will remove the sooty carbon deposits from the inside of your car’s engine. Our technicians inject a formula into the engine which burns at an incredibly high temperature and removes the carbon – you can see the soot coming out of the exhaust pipe.

There are a couple of things that you can do to keep carbon build-up to a minimum:

  1. Have your car serviced regularly at Ultimate Autocare
  2. Now and again, drive your car in the higher rev regions (don’t go crazy!) so that the engine reaches the required high temperatures to burn out the soot.

As a car gets older it’s normal to expect a reduction in performance or some wear and tear on parts. One of the ways to restore lost performance (and to make sure that your car passes the emissions test on the MOT), is to have the engine carbon cleaned at Ultimate Autocare in Horsham.

Carbon cleaning removes the sooty deposits in the engine that builds up over time by using a system that burns the deposits so hot that the components are cleaned – you can even see the sooty residue coming out of the exhaust.

If you’re noticing that your car isn’t performing quite as well as it should, or that it’s consuming more fuel than usual, it could mean that it’s time to bring it into Ultimate Autocare for a carbon clean.

It used to be the case that to clean the inside of the engine, mechanics had to dismantle the entire unit and clean it manually, and it still wasn’t possible to reach the carbon deposits further down the engine system. This was a long, complicated and expensive process.

At Ultimate Autocare, we are pleased that technology has moved on and we can offer a non-invasive hydrogen cleaning service at our workshop in Horsham. This involves pumping hydrogen into the air intake of the engine which burns away the carbon deposits that have been preventing your engine from working effectively. The benefits of this service are noticeable immediately.

Carbon cleaning removes sooty deposits from your engine and is a safe and reliable method of restoring lost performance and also an effective way of helping your car pass its MOT emissions test. At Ultimate Autocare, we offer a highly-reputed carbon cleaning service at our workshop in Horsham.

Modern cars can generally go a decent number of miles before they need much engine maintenance but you may notice a decrease in performance as the vehicle ages. This drop in performance can often be put down to the build-up of soot which is an inevitable consequence of burning fuel, and this is often more pronounced in diesel-powered vehicles.

The carbon cleaning service at Ultimate Autocare uses specialist equipment to access the fuel system without having to dismantle the engine, unlike the old carbon cleaning methods where the carbon had to be literally scraped off.

Carbon cleaning is the process of removing carbon and soot that have built up over the years from your car’s engine. These deposits eventually clog up the engine and can cause a noticeable reduction in power and an expensive increase in fuel consumption.

At Ultimate Autocare we offer a professional carbon cleaning service at our workshop in Horsham. The method that we use is safe and non-aggressive and doesn’t involve having to dismantle any of the engine components in the process. The carbon deposits dissolve in situ and are emitted through the exhaust and caught by a filter before they can get out into the atmosphere.

Apart from improving engine performance and fuel economy, carbon cleaning helps to protect your engine and helps to prevent breakdowns. Give the team at Ultimate Autocare a call today to find out how we can help.

What is carbon cleaning?

Carbon cleaning is an effective method of removing the carbon deposits that build up over time inside your vehicle’s engine. Ultimate Autocare is pleased to provide this service at our workshop in Horsham.

In the old days, we had to open up the engine and use chemicals to loosen the carbon from the surfaces, then we had to scrape it off manually. This was time-consuming and not really all that effective because there were lots of surfaces that we just couldn’t reach such as in the turbo and exhaust systems. Thankfully, developments in automotive technology mean that we can now effectively clean the engine, reaching all the previously inaccessible areas, without taking the engine apart.

Hydrogen is pumped through the air intake system, and it burns carbon deposits away quickly and safely. The results of the carbon clean are instantaneous and you can expect to see improvements in power, performance and fuel efficiency.

Build-up on your car’s intake valve is pretty inevitable especially if the majority of your driving is in urban conditions. At Ultimate Autocare we are pleased to offer a Carbon Cleaning service at our workshop in Horsham, which will restore performance to your vehicle, help with fuel economy and ensure a much smoother ride overall.

There are a few things that you can do yourself to help prevent carbon build-up:

  • Give the engine a chance to get really hot and burn off some of the carbon by getting out on the motorway and giving the car a good blast
  • Keeping your ECU software up to date can in some cases, avoid any carbon building up at all
  • Make sure that you have the oil in your engine changed regularly and only use good-quality synthetic oil if you’re topping it up yourself
  • Filling up with high-octane fuel which burns hotter than the alternatives and so will burn away more of the carbon, leaving less to clog up your intake valve.

If you have any questions about Carbon Cleaning or any of the above, give us a call at Ultimate Autocare and we’ll be happy to advise you on the best course of action.
