What Is Carbon Cleaning?

Carbon cleaning is a process that will remove the sooty deposits of carbon from your vehicle’s engine. This service can be performed by experienced technicians or mechanics, and helps prolong the life of your engine by preventing the damage that these build-ups can cause.

In addition to helping prevent engine damage, a carbon cleaning lowers your vehicle’s emissions. This added benefit is great for the environment.

Many car experts swear by the process and advise that it be done as a regular part of car maintenance. It’s especially useful if your vehicle is getting older and beginning to wear down. By keeping your engine carbon clean, you may notice that some of the problems you were attributing to your car’s age vanish.

How Much Does a Carbon Clean Cost?

Our carbon cleaning prices start from $1200.

The cost of carbon cleaning for diesel engines depends on factors like engine size, the amount of carbon build-up, and the cleaning method used. Heavily carbonised engines or larger diesel engines require more intensive cleaning, which can increase the price. We offer different methods, from hydrogen cleaning to manual options, and prices also vary based on the complexity of the job and any extra services like diagnostics. At our workshop, we tailor the service to your engine’s needs, ensuring the best results at competitive rates.

Alex and his team have done an amazing job at fault finding my LC200 with a air bleed down fault. Found the issues and fixed it in a fast turnaround. Also cleaned the intake manifold and installed my HPD intercooler. Top job.

Professional service providing excellent results at a better dollar value than their competitors with better results. Ricky at Elite Tune did a fantastic job with a 40% HP gain with a stage 2 tune on my Hilux and sorted a few other issues in the process. Highly recommend, 5 stars for sure 👌

The team at Elite Tune delivered an outstanding service above and beyond my expectations. My Pajero Sport doesn't just look good with a new bull bar but has a lot more power after fitting a new exhaust, snorkle, an ECU remap and a dyno tune. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding.

Best experience with a service and tune I've had and exceeded expectations with the tune to boost power and make my Amarok more fuel efficient. Highly recommend the team at Elite Tune as they went over and above what any other mechanic would provide.

If the tune and exhaust fitting was an A+ standard worth 5 star, the service was phenomenal. Highly recommend and would definitely use in the future. Our Ute tows the 21ft family caravan like a dream, even the wife is happy to take a turn.

How Long Does Carbon Cleaning Take?

Carbon cleaning for diesel engines usually takes around a day, but the time can vary depending on a few factors.

Larger engines or those with heavy carbon build-up will need more time, and the method we use – whether it’s hydrogen cleaning or something more hands-on – can also affect the duration. If the engine needs a bit of extra attention, like diagnostics or other checks, that might add to the time as well.

To make sure we can get your vehicle in and out as quickly as possible, it’s best to book an appointment ahead of time.

How Often Should You Carbon Clean Your Engine?

There’s no universal time frame when it comes to cleaning the carbon.

When it’s needed will depend on what kind of vehicle you have, the driving conditions, and a host of other factors.

To start with, bring your vehicle in for carbon cleaning every 24,140KM or 15,000 miles.

Once your technician has seen the vehicle they may be able to give you a more precise timeline. Until then, better safe than sorry.

FAQs

What Does a Carbon Clean Involve?

This occurs when soot, carbon, and other debris are removed from your engine. If they aren't removed, these deposits can clog up your engine and prevent your vehicle from running properly. During a professional cleaning, a technician will remove these dangerous buildups.

What Does Carbon Cleaning Do?

It is a part of routine car maintenance. It removes built-up carbon on the intake valves of direct injection engines. There are several ways to do this, including blasting walnut shavings through valve ports at high speeds. You may hear this referred to as "blasting." Carbon cleaning can also involve using solvents and heat to get rid of pesky debris. To learn more about the processes that are used, speak to your technician. They'll know what's right for your vehicle and can break the process down in detail.

Does Carbon Cleaning Help the DPF?

In short, yes, but here's why. Over time, your diesel particulate filter can become blocked by carbon, soot, and other debris. This prevents the DPF from working properly and the blockage can lead to trouble with your engine. These engine problems can include a loss of power, engine suffocation, or using more fuel than normal. A carbon cleaning will remove the particles that build up on your DPF, which allows it to continue working as intended. This helps ensure that your engine will continue running at full power for years to come.
