    Full Carbon Clean and remap

    Posted 13 August

    I had the pleasure of meeting Matt today. He was on time, gave great advice, honest feedback, great sense of humour - everything you would want from your technician. Never makes you feel stupid. Explained how the remap works. I'm only disappointed he didn't take a picture of my car for his portfolio.

    Full carbon clean and DPF clean

    Posted 13 February

    Engine management light and coil light came on, had my guy stick a diagnostic tool on it and it said the DPF was blocked. Booked a full 400 quids' worth of carbon clean and DPF clean. Matt diagnosed the problem as a sensor issue which would need a new sensor fitting. I could have got away with just the £90 callout fee but decided to go for full carbon clean at total cost of £210. I appreciate Matt's honesty and not trying to rinse me for a DPF clean. Would definitely use again.

UKCC Auto Techs (formally UK Carbon Cleaning) are a UK wide mobile service provider for vehicle engine carbon & DPF cleaning, power & performance and/or remapping, and Autowatch Ghost installation services.


Engine Carbon Cleaning:

Today's combustion engine’s that accumulate carbon deposits, primarily due to engines designed to cope with ever important anti-pollution regulations requirements, imposed speed limits, fuel quality and driving at low speeds to save on fuel. This is a slow process so often will go unnoticed until eventually, symptoms will manifest in the form of saturated components such as intake valves, DPF filters, EGR valves, and Turbos.


Ideally, a client will use our service the same way as they do an oil change service - regular and often - after all as they always say... 'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure'.


Our carbon cleaning system is non-intrusive, safe and fast. In just 30-60 minutes our mobile team resolves the symptoms of carbon build-up related issues.



DPF cleaning:

All diesel vehicles produced in the last decade (some early produced as well) have a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) which is designed as part of the emissions restriction system to collect the soot and ash as it exhales through the exhaust system. When the filter gets to a certain level of clogging a regeneration process is requested to clean the filter. The vehicle must then be driven at a minimum speed of usually 50mph for 20 minutes so that this process can occur. During the process, the DPF is heated up to 600-650c to burn off the soot content. This requires many aspects of the engine to function in an abnormal manner, therefore, the onboard computer checks all relevant components can handle the additional load. If any component is not operating to the required standard or there are other failings the DPF regeneration process will not complete which leads to failure of the system. The first task of any DPF cleaning process is a thorough diagnostic including testing related sensors to understand the root cause of the failure. It is critical these failures are then resolved otherwise even if the DPF is cleaned the problem will promptly return. We specialise in not just the cleaning of DPF's but most importantly the diagnosis of the original failing so that once cleaned the DPF you can be sure there will be no recurrence of the issue in the foreseeable future.


Remapping:

We now offer a wide range of both performance enhancing and fuel economy remaps for most vehicles.

Autowatch Ghost:

Vehicle protection against keyless entry and electronic key vehicle theft. The Ghost is the original aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser. Protect your car from theft like nothing else on the market today. Professional mobile fitting service.
