VW Audi BMW MINI TFSI valve carbon cleaning taken care of at North east auto tech.
Carbon build up is a natural occurrence on direct injection engines. There is pretty much no way of stopping it. Sophisticated catch cans and alternative oils are said to help prevent the build. Unfortunately this will not stop it completely. Generally speaking an engine with only 20,000 miles on the clock will have a sufficient build up of carbon. We recommend having your intake valves checked at these intervals. Constant misfires, lack of responsiveness and poor fuel economy can also be related and cured by having this service carried out. If you leave the carbon to build up then these problems can only worsen and possibly cause major damage if a sizable carbon pellet falls into the cylinder.
Once the service is complete your engine will feel more responsive, smoother and more powerful. A cleaner intake port will reduce turbulent air flow and therefore your engine can make more power with less effort.
The increases can be felt on the road as the car pulls a lot harder and is less jerky to drive at very low speeds around town.
| The process of cleaning the ports and valves is fairly straight forward, yet great care needs to be taken not to cause any further damage to the head of the engine or the valves themselves. The valves and ports are cleaned with various chemicals and then media blasted along with a neutralising agent. We require the car for 1 full day to strip down the intake and clean the valves and ports. All gaskets are also replaced as necessary. |
