Poor Running
Rough or inconsistent running that requires assessment.
Carbon cleaning for suitable vehicles, aimed at addressing carbon deposits where they may be contributing to running or performance issues.
Carbon Build-Up
Over time, carbon deposits can build up in parts of an engine and intake system depending on the engine design, mileage, use and condition.
Carbon cleaning can help address deposits on suitable vehicles where they may be contributing to running or performance issues.
It is not a fix for every fault, which is why we assess the vehicle first and only recommend carbon cleaning where it is appropriate.
Common Reasons
Rough or inconsistent running that requires assessment.
Sluggish response where deposits may be a contributing factor.
Build-up in relevant areas on suitable engines.
Assessing whether cleaning is worthwhile for the vehicle's condition.
Cleaning where there is a sensible reason to do it.
Checking whether the symptoms actually point towards carbon build-up.
Our Process
ASSESS
We discuss the vehicle, mileage, history and why carbon cleaning is being considered.
CHECK
We consider whether the symptoms and vehicle make carbon cleaning an appropriate service.
CLEAN
The appropriate cleaning work is carried out on suitable vehicles.
REVIEW
We review the vehicle afterwards and advise if anything else requires investigation.
The Right Service For The Right Problem.
Poor running, warning lights, reduced performance or drivability problems can have many causes. If the evidence points to diagnostics or mechanical repair instead, that is the direction we will recommend.
Why RS Performance?
Suitability is considered before recommending the service.
Carbon cleaning is not presented as a guaranteed cure for unrelated mechanical or electrical faults.
If symptoms suggest another cause, diagnostics can be the more sensible first step.
Availability depends on the vehicle and having an appropriate working location.
Carbon Cleaning FAQ
Carbon cleaning is a service intended to help address carbon deposits in relevant areas of suitable engines. The exact approach and suitability depend on the vehicle and its condition.
Symptoms alone do not always confirm carbon build-up. Vehicle history, mileage, engine type, condition and the symptoms you are experiencing all help determine whether cleaning is worth considering.
Not necessarily. A warning light can be caused by many different faults. Diagnostics may be the correct first step before deciding whether carbon cleaning is relevant.
If carbon deposits are genuinely contributing to poor running or reduced performance, cleaning may help. It cannot correct unrelated mechanical, electrical or calibration faults.
No. Suitability depends on the engine, system, symptoms and condition of the vehicle. We recommend assessing the vehicle first.
Mobile carbon cleaning may be available for suitable vehicles where there is a safe and appropriate working location.
