Think your engine might be clogging up? You're not alone🤔
In the past, vintage cars needed regular “decoking” -opening up the engine and scraping off carbon by hand.
While modern fuels and engines are more efficient, carbon build-up is still a real issue today.
Here’s what’s going on under the bonnet:
Burning fuel = sooty emissions. Even with DPFs and catalysts, some soot sticks to engine and exhaust components.
Petrol engines used to clean themselves better, but modern fuel injection systems limit that natural cleaning.
Diesel engines burn less cleanly and suffer more from carbon build-up, especially as exhaust gases are reburned - leading to clogged DPFs and catalysts.
That’s why regular carbon cleaning is just as important today as it ever was. It helps keep your engine efficient, reduces emissions, and can improve performance.
Book in for a professional carbon clean and give your engine a fresh start.
