Carbon Cleaning

Build-up on your car’s intake valve is pretty inevitable, especially if the majority of your driving is in urban conditions. At Autolube we are pleased to offer a Carbon Cleaning service at our workshop in Letchworth Garden City, which will restore performance to your vehicle using Terraclean technology, 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 Autolube and we’ll be happy to advise you on the best course of action.

While remaining fiercely independent, Autolube is pleased to be affiliated with many of the leading automotive industry organisations such as Bosch, the RAC, Trust My Garage, 1 Link and the Institute of the Motor Industry to name but a few. Our affiliations with these well-respected organisations demonstrate our commitment to delivering high standards of both work and customer service.
