What Is Carbon Cleaning?

Carbon cleaning is a process that will remove the sooty deposits of carbon from your vehicle’s engine. This service can be performed by experienced technicians or mechanics, and helps prolong the life of your engine by preventing the damage that these build-ups can cause.

In addition to helping prevent engine damage, a carbon cleaning lowers your vehicle’s emissions. This added benefit is great for the environment.

Many car experts swear by the process and advise that it be done as a regular part of car maintenance. It’s especially useful if your vehicle is getting older and beginning to wear down. By keeping your engine carbon clean, you may notice that some of the problems you were attributing to your car’s age vanish.

I recently had my BT-50 fully modified through EliteTune and couldn’t be happier with the result. During my visit, they handled everything — exhaust, tune, lift kit, plus a full tyre and rim package — all in one go, which made the whole process super convenient.The quality of the work is excellent, and the difference in performance and overall look of the vehicle is unreal. You can tell they take pride in what they do and pay attention to the details.The crew are also very good — easy to deal with, knowledgeable, and happy to answer any questions along the way. They made the whole experience smooth from start to finish.Highly recommend EliteTune to anyone looking to upgrade their vehicle. I’ll definitely be sending people their way.

Got my 80 Series tuned and serviced by Elite Tune and honestly couldn’t be happier. The difference is night and day. throttle response is way sharper, pulls harder through the rev range, and just feels way more alive to drive. It used to feel a bit sluggish, especially towing or going up hills, but now it handles it effortlessly.They really know their stuff too. Rickey was so polite and was to understand as he took the time to explain everything properly and made sure the tune suited how I actually use the car not just some generic setup which other shops do. You can tell they care about doing it right, not just rushing jobs through.Surprisingly it came with a bonus too as my fuel economy even improved a bit and the motor just runs smoother overall. Easily one of the best mods I’ve done to the 80.If you’re thinking about getting a tune, don’t even hesitate. Elite Tune absolutely delivered if i could give other 5 stars i would!

How Long Does Carbon Cleaning Take?

Carbon cleaning for diesel engines usually takes around a day, but the time can vary depending on a few factors.

Larger engines or those with heavy carbon build-up will need more time, and the method we use – whether it’s hydrogen cleaning or something more hands-on – can also affect the duration. If the engine needs a bit of extra attention, like diagnostics or other checks, that might add to the time as well.

To make sure we can get your vehicle in and out as quickly as possible, it’s best to book an appointment ahead of time.

How Often Should You Carbon Clean Your Engine?

There’s no universal time frame when it comes to cleaning the carbon.

When it’s needed will depend on what kind of vehicle you have, the driving conditions, and a host of other factors.

To start with, bring your vehicle in for carbon cleaning every 24,140KM or 15,000 miles.

Once your technician has seen the vehicle they may be able to give you a more precise timeline. Until then, better safe than sorry.

FAQs

What Does a Carbon Clean Involve?

This occurs when soot, carbon, and other debris are removed from your engine. If they aren't removed, these deposits can clog up your engine and prevent your vehicle from running properly. During a professional cleaning, a technician will remove these dangerous buildups.

What Does Carbon Cleaning Do?

It is a part of routine car maintenance. It removes built-up carbon on the intake valves of direct injection engines. There are several ways to do this, including blasting walnut shavings through valve ports at high speeds. You may hear this referred to as "blasting." Carbon cleaning can also involve using solvents and heat to get rid of pesky debris. To learn more about the processes that are used, speak to your technician. They'll know what's right for your vehicle and can break the process down in detail.

Does Carbon Cleaning Help the DPF?

In short, yes, but here's why. Over time, your diesel particulate filter can become blocked by carbon, soot, and other debris. This prevents the DPF from working properly and the blockage can lead to trouble with your engine. These engine problems can include a loss of power, engine suffocation, or using more fuel than normal. A carbon cleaning will remove the particles that build up on your DPF, which allows it to continue working as intended. This helps ensure that your engine will continue running at full power for years to come.
