Carbon cleaning
« on: June 29, 2016, 11:48:52 pm »
Has anyone e er had there's done on her by terraclean/carbon clean?

Trying to weight up if I should take the inlet off myself or not as I'm sceptical that they clean the inlet out as they go in via the injectors? They do say it clean the inlet but I don't understand how really...

Any I for would be great  :happy2:

Plenty of posts in the forum explaining why not to waste money on those "cleanings". Do it properly. Walnut shell blasting is very effective. :wink:

Get it walnut blasted as the other 'quick' options do nothing. This was the result after AKS Tuning did mine.

They're in Bedford and well worth a trip there to get stuff done properly.

Can I ask how much they charge for this as I'm looking to get mine done soon?
