Carbon Cleaning – Croydon

Build-up on your car’s intake valve is pretty inevitable especially if the majority of your driving is in urban conditions.

At McCarthy Cars Service Centre we are pleased to offer a Carbon Cleaning service at our workshop in Croydon 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 as it 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 McCarthy Cars Service Centre and we’ll be happy to advise you on the best course of action.

McCarthy Cars Service Centre is proud to be affiliated with both the RAC, who audit us regularly to make sure that we keep our standards high, and HEVRA (Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Repair Alliance), which is a network of the best specialist EV and hybrid vehicle repair centres across the UK.
