Over time, carbon deposits build up inside your engine (see above), particularly on the intake valves, intake manifold, and combustion chambers. This can negatively impact engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions. This process is accelerated with modern engines using exhaust gas re-circulation valves (EGR's) to improve emissions.
Modern direct injection engines are especially prone to carbon buildup since fuel is injected directly into the cylinders, bypassing the intake valves where traditional fuel spray would help keep them clean. Without proper maintenance, this can lead to:
π Reduced engine performance
β½ Lower fuel efficiency
β οΈ Rough idling and misfires
π§ Check Engine Light activation
π¨ Increased emissions
To restore your engineβs efficiency and performance, professional carbon cleaning is essential.
At Mechalex Garage, we offer walnut blasting, a highly effective and safe method for removing stubborn carbon deposits. This process involves:
πΉ Crushed walnut shells blasted at high pressure to remove carbon buildup without damaging engine components.
πΉ Precision cleaning of intake valves and intake ports, restoring proper airflow.
πΉ Enhanced combustion efficiency, leading to smoother acceleration and better fuel economy.
Walnut blasting is the preferred carbon cleaning method for all vehicles
Signs your vehicle may benefit from a carbon clean:
π§ Loss of power and sluggish acceleration
π¨ Engine misfires or rough idling
β½ Increased fuel consumption
π Poor throttle response
