Anyone tried engine de-carbonising service before?

[whizzard]

Just wanted to know whether anyone here has sent their cars in for engine de-carbonisation service before i.e. to remove the carbon which has built up after some time.  If you have tried, (1) where did you send your car for the service and more importantly, (2) how is the feedback?  Do you notice any improvements e.g. better fuel economy or better driving performance, etc? 

 

I am thinking of sending my car to KlearKarbon to do this.  As this is my first time ever doing this kind of service, just wanted to find out from people who have actually tried before. 

 

Maybe I should send my wife's car to test water first before sending mine in

I was once told that the best way to clear carbon is to run the engine at higher RPM constantly for 10-15 mins, usually entails a trip across the border and a highway to do so. =)

[Ah Bui]

Why pay for ppl to torture your ride when with that same amount of $$$... you can pay for petrol... Toll... and a nice good meal over the border... not forgetting the thrill of running it at high speed.... Jus my opinion....

These machines somes uses hydrogen to burn off the carbon, it might accidentally kill off your injectors .

The best way it's still constant high rpm for a period of time, if got carbon, black smokes blow till no more black smokes

I de-carbonisation my ride in msia only.

Thanks for all the replies so far.

 

Seems like the advice is not to do it but instead to drive at high rev for an extended period of time .....

Probably the wiser choice.

Probably the wiser choice.

Definitely the more fun choice. =)

I have tried their service before but I heard good feedback from couple of friends who had done it on their 4-5 yr old rides.

Hmmm ..... anyway, was enquiring with them and they sent me this.

coming to clear carbon, say in SG can drag 2nd or 3rd gear to clear?

i would say bring your car to run at 5-6k rpm would be better, its easier in NSHW which we do have regular run for it so look out and go for the nshw run

i did a motorvac before on my audi a6. didn't really feel much difference. i think they're both kinda similar right? end of the day if it feels better to drive, i think it's all in your head. haha

i did Terraclean before suppose to be better that it cleans the o2 sensor too.  Feels very good immediately but feeling gone after a week or so...so is my money...hahaha
