- Intake Manifold Carbon Cleaning -
Below is a set of 1VDFTV intake manifolds that were dropped off to us by one of our customers for cleaning
This is a thorough mechanical clean, not an on vehicle chemical treatment attempting to burn the build-up from the engine which doesn’t always remove all the carbon or just ends up somewhere else though out the engine/ exhaust. Each piece is firstly cleaned in a bath of Dyna Fuels Hard Carbon Soak to loosen and remove majority of the built up carbon, from there it goes into our hot wash for a clean and to remove any leftover carbon in those hard to reach spots, we then finish it off in the water jet blaster to clean it all and bring the finish back to look as new.
What causes this??
The issue is with the oil entering the intake system on modern diesel engines fitted with EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) where the exhaust gas valve is commanded by the ECM (engine control module) to open and allow exhaust gasses back into the inlet mixing with the oil that’s been left as a film inside the inlet manifold, thus this process just keeps on repeating itself, causing the issue of the manifold being blocked or clogged reducing the air flow to the engine’s cylinders, resulting in lack of performance, black smoke, engine wear and even engine failure.
Did you know we offer manifold cleaning to retail and trade customers, simply just drop your manifold off to us and we will take care of the rest. Feel free to send us a message via Facebook / email [email protected] or alternately contact us on (03) 8346 9800
